Benromach | 2014 | Côte Rôtie Cask Finish

Benromach — 2014 Vintage | Côte Rôtie Cask Finish

A remarkable single malt from Benromach distillery in Forres, Speyside — distilled in 2014 and finished in casks that previously held Côte Rôtie, one of the Northern Rhône’s most prestigious red wines made from Syrah and Viognier.

The Côte Rôtie finish imparts a distinctive savoury, floral and dark fruit character to Benromach’s elegant Speyside spirit — a sophisticated and unusual whisky for those who appreciate the intersection of whisky and fine wine.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Dark berries, violet, black olive, smoked meat, light vanilla, subtle peat
• Palate: Rich and complex, Syrah-driven dark fruit, leather, dried herbs, gentle smoke, warming spice
• Finish: Long and savoury, lingering wine influence and oak
