“Our latest Wood Finish expression is a welcome addition to our growing family of Speyside single malt whiskies,” said Benromach Distillery Manager Keith Cruickshank in a prepared statement. “Our previous wood finish expressions, including Benromach Sassicaia and Benromach Hermitage, have proved to be very popular and we are looking forward to hearing what whisky lovers around think of this Chateau Cissac; it certainly has plenty of character so I’m sure this new single malt will be appreciated by new and existing Benromach fans around the world.
“Those who enjoy our flagship 10 Years Old will enjoy the chance to experience Benromach in a different way. The maturation in wine casks from the distinguished region creates a distinct flavour in the whisky and allows a truly unique character to develop.”
Plans call for this whisky, priced around £40 (about $55 USD) and bottled at 45% ABV, to be available globally. You’ll find very limited official tasting notes below.
An initial peppery taste with sweet vanilla and creamy milk chocolates notes and hints of red wine tannins and lingering peat smoke.
