Speyside-based distillery Benromach has released Cara Gold – a new limited edition single malt as part of their Contrasts range.
Benromach Cara Gold uses Cara Gold malted barley, a roasted caramel malt more commonly used in breweries and combined that with the distillery’s lightly peated malt, which was matured infirst-fill bourbon barrels, bottled at 46% alcohol by volume [92 proof] and is said to contain notes of apricot, lime, lychee, passionfruit and pineapple.
Only 6000 bottles of Benromach Cara Gold are being made available – with 1,500 of those slotted exclusively for the UK – for $65 per 700ml bottle.
