The 2012 distillation gives this whisky a surprisingly complex aromatic complexity. On the nose, one can detect vibrant notes of cinnamon and vanilla, followed by subtle hints of honey and dried fruits, especially almonds and nutmeg. This olfactory profile is the prelude to an equally intriguing palate, where flavors of wild berries mingle with those of toasted malt and dark chocolate, creating a perfect balance between sweetness and intensity.
The finish is long and pleasantly persistent, leaving a taste in the mouth that includes sweet spices and a light smokiness, typical of malt whiskies produced in the Speyside region, where the Benromach Distillery is rooted.
The Benromach Virgin Air Dried Oak is presented in an elegant case, making it an ideal gift for whisky enthusiasts or an excellent addition to a connoisseur's collection. The use of virgin oak wood not only is a testament to the craftsmanship in production but also ensures that each sip of this whisky is a memorable and unique experience.

Distillation
Whisky: double distillation in copper pot stills with manual cut management; extended fermentation in larch washbacks. Gin: vapour-infusion in a copper still ('Peggy'), botanicals placed in a basket separated from the distillate.
Ageing
Maturation in oak casks stored in dunnage warehouses at stable temperatures; predominant use of first-fill barrels (bourbon and sherry) and experimentation with virgin casks and wine casks for the Contrasts releases.
