Benromach 10 Year Old 2012 Contrasts: Air Dried Oak (2023) is a distinctive Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in 2012 and bottled in 2023 by Benromach Distillery. This limited edition release is part of the Contrasts series, matured exclusively in air dried virgin oak barrels—a rare wood treatment that enhances flavour complexity and depth.
Air drying the oak allows natural enzymes and environmental conditions to influence the staves before cask construction, creating a more refined and balanced interaction between spirit and wood.
