Benromach contrast: Air Dried Oak, Single Malt Whisky, 70cl
Benromach is a family owned distilllery reimagining the lost speyside style. Air dried oak is a unique way of treating oak barrels. Air drying, which can take up to 36 months, involves stacking staves outside which allows them to be washed by rain and dried by the sun. The change of humidity to the wood prevents it from cracking when it is shaped. The result on flavour quality is a wood that produces more of a vanilla and spice note.Ā
