Benromach Contrasts Organic 46%vol.

A Speyside single malt that combines organic certification and classic distilling craftsmanship — produced by the smallest active producer in the region.

The Benromach distillery in Forres has operated with a consistently artisanal approach since its reopening in 1998 under Gordon & MacPhail: small pot stills, traditional production methods. The Contrasts series explores different raw material and cask concepts. The Organic edition uses only certified organic barley malt and is bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration.

On the nose, toffee, ripe banana, and vanilla, with hints of cocoa and freshly ground coffee. On the palate, a creamy texture, followed by pepper and chili—spicy, but not overpowering—with dark chocolate and a citrus burst that breaks up the sweetness. The finish is long and smooth.

It unfolds its full flavor best neat at room temperature — a few drops of still water open the fruit layers. Enjoy it as a digestif after a hearty dinner or with a piece of dark chocolate.
