A blend of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, this Benromach 10 year old is made with spring water from the Romach Hills in the Speyside region. The result is a truly peaty single malt like one can find on the island of Islay. Before bottling, it is matured for several months in oloroso sherry casks.
Awards: Goldmedal at the international Wine & Spirit competition in 2021.
Nose : Clean and lively with fantastic woody and smoky notes. A touch of bitterness with lemony notes quickly counterbalanced by spices.
Palate : Greedy and assertive, it validates the sensations of the nose with delicate peaty, woody and iodized notes.
Finish : Dry and peaty, it reminds the fabulous whiskies of yesteryear with almost medicinal notes. Touches of iodine.
Benromach Distillery, founded in 1898 in Forres, Speyside, experienced several closures before being bought and restored by Gordon & MacPhail in 1993. It reopened in 1998, focusing on handcrafted production and lightly peated whiskies, which are rare in the region. Benromach uses traditional methods and ages its whiskies in bourbon and sherry casks, giving them a rich and complex character.
