Contrasts: High Enzyme

Experience the unique flavours including peppermint and jasmine with one of the newest releases in the Contrasts series, High Enzyme. 

This limited release explores the technical aspects of distilling and has used a high enzyme, unpeated barley to create characteristics more commonly found in grain whisky rather than malt whisky.

Matured in first-fill bourbon barrels resulting in fresh apple aromas, lots of citrus fruits, sweet pineapple and honeycomb as well as notes of jasmine and peppermint.
