Benromach Contrasts: Wine FINISH Côte Rôtie Cask

We use lightly peated barley in this release and the phenol levels within this whisky are around 12PPM, similar to our Benromach Signature range.

Distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2026, this whisky has matured for 12 years in two very different cask types resulting in a deep amber colour and creating a unique expression within our Contrasts range.
