Benromach 8 presents a unique and fresh peaty single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside. The taste profile is characterized by zesty peat smoke along with cherry, vanilla, buttermilk caramel, and hints of banana cream pie. It offers a refreshing blend of flavors with a touch of cola, black pepper, and a lingering bonfire essence. While not overly complex, this whisky provides a pleasant and distinctive drinking experience, reminiscent of a lighter Highland Park.

A big sweet sherry here with some chocolate, cinnamon, earth, and autumn leaves. It's about the same price tag as any other good quality entry level 10 or 12 year old out there and it's delicious.

Such a shame that lemon soap bubbly thing is the first thing you get. I honestly can't complain.

On the nose, it's smoky and fruity, almost in equal measure. I'm getting cherries, sweet red fruits, strawberry jam, buttermilk caramel, brown sugar, banana cream pie, lots of vanilla, and some faint orange notes. Fantastic value for this bottle. Highly recommend this one.

It's very sweet smoke. The vanilla dominates here. I do think we're getting good value here. They're definitely affordable.

It's a delicate touch of smoke, a beautiful accent. If this is as good tasting as it does smelling in my hands, I'd be like, I want this.

It's a charming whiskey. It's not going to blow your socks off but if you like Benromach, this one should scratch that itch and it's good.

MOST HATED rebrand! Benromach 15 Review ft Malt Activist
It's not bad and there is potential to build on. I bet Benromach has some absolute gems out there which I would love to explore.

And the winner is... | Benromach Contrasts Peat Smoke & Sherry Matured REVIEW
Both of these are really good whiskeys. I much prefer the Sherry, and it's not close.

Benromach Cask Strength Batch 1 Review
I think it's just one of these brands that's great but it's never top of mind. That is really good.
