Batch number 2 in 2023 of Benromach’s Cask Strength bottling was distilled in the year 2014 and bottled in 2023. All that time the whiskey spent in a combination of first-fill sherry casks and bourbon casks until it was bottled at a respectable 59.7% – without neither caramel coloring nor chill filtration. An old school Speyside whsiky which balances dried fruit and sherry sweetness with a touch of smoke.
Colour: Amber.
Nose: Quite intense with sherry-like notes of dried fruit and orange peel, cinnamon sticks and a touch of smoke.
Tasting notes: Great power and intensity in the whisky, bursting with lots of smoke (for a Speysider), walnuts, figs and honey.
Serving suggestions: Should be enjoyed neat, possibly with a drop of water.
Benromach is the essence of a craft distillery. It’s hands-on, all the way through, and probably the smallest distillery in Speyside. Only 2 men are involved in the production! There are no thermometers or pressure gauges on their pot-stills – you ensure that things run as they should with “sound, touch and sight”. It’s old fashioned, but it’s amazingly good. Benromach have set the bar unreasonably high for their competitors in Speyside.
