Contrasts: Double Matured

Natural Colour | Peated | 46% vol
first-fill bourbon casks then Bordeaux wine casks
Contrasts: Double Matured

Double Matured from our Contrasts range has aged slightly differently to our signature Benromach style. This limited small batch release single malt has matured for a total of 12 years, spending its first 7 years in a first-fill Bourbon barrel then transferred into a Bordeaux wine cask for a further 5 years.

The influence of the Bourbon and red Bordeaux wine casks results in a whisky with delicate honey and floral aromas, notes of forest fruits and toasted oak, finishing on our signature soft touch of peat smoke.
