The Whiskey Reviewer A World of Whiskey, Poured Every Weekday
The Benromach Distillery Company Ltd. has unveiled the latest addition to its Wood Finish portfolio with the launch of the limited-edition Benromach Château Cissac Bordeaux Wood Finish 2010.
The single malt Scotch whisky balances Benromach’s signature Speyside smokiness with a lengthy finish adding rich red wine undertones.
Benromach Château Cissac Bordeaux Wood Finish 2010 is matured in first-fill Bourbon barrels in the distillery’s traditional dunnage warehouses in Forres, Speyside. This expression is then finished for just over two years in Château Cissac wine casks, hand-selected from the illustrious French wine region of Haut-Médoc near Bordeaux.
Keith Cruickshank, Benromach Distillery manager, said, “Our latest Wood Finish is a welcome addition to our ‘Contrasts’ range of single malt Scotch whiskies. All our Wood Finishes, including our Château Cissac Bordeaux Wood Finish 2009 which we launched last year, have been really well received by whisky lovers around the world.
A limited release of 7,789 bottles will be made available for sale through specialist whisky retailers with a recommended retail price of £47.75 in the UK. Prices may vary in international markets because of duty and import taxes.
