We're big fans of Benromach distillery, so very excited with this latest release from this excellent Speyside distillery. A small batch release, distilled in 2012 using heavily peated barley (55PPM) and matured exclusively in first fill ex-sherry hogshead casks. This latest batch of Peat Smoke was bottled in 2021 at 46% vol.
