📜In today’s review, Mark dives into the Benromach Contrasts: Organic (2023 Bottling). Distilled in 2014 and matured for 9 years exclusively in first-fill virgin American oak casks, this expression stands out from the typical Benromach lineup. At 46% ABV, natural color, and non-chill filtered, it offers a unique profile that truly defies expectations of virgin oak maturation for 9 short years.
⁉️Does it taste like a traditional lightly peated Speyside? Or does the organic barley and long fermentation create something entirely different? Mark explores notes of cocoa, raisin biscuits, and a surprising similarity to high-end Grappa.
