Product description
The Benromach Distillery was established in 1898. It is the smallest commercial distillery in Speyside, although recent modernisation has increased its production capacity by 40% to 700,000 litres of distillate per year.
Since 1993, the distillery has been owned by Gordon & MacPhail, a leading independent distributor of whisky, which has significantly expanded its offering in the new century. Benromach Cask Strength debuted in April 2019, replacing the 10-year-old 100 Proof version. The Batch #01 presented here is a whisky distilled in 2013, aged exclusively in first-fill casks for around 10 years and bottled at 59.7% ABV, natural colour and without chill filtration in 2023.
Nose: honeyed breakfast cereals, vanilla, baked apples sprinkled with cinnamon, mocha, lemon peel, burnt bread crust, a pinch of pepper and ginger, traces of peat and forest floor.
Palate: slightly smoky, caramel, honey, vanilla, milk chocolate, pears, red apples, peaches, black pepper and a pinch of salt.
Finish: long, with notes of citrus, caramel, vanilla, pepper, ginger, toasted oak and peat smoke in the background.
