Benromach 15 Year Old

Benromach distillery was mothballed four times in between its opening in 1900 and 1993, when it was acquired by Gordon & MacPhail – though it took five more years for it to become functional again. This 15 Year Old edition was first released in 2015, combining the dreamy duo of bourbon and sherry casks.

Though Speyside whisky is now generally unpeated, Benromach is keeping the Speyside tradition of topping up fires with peat when coal ran low alive, malting their Scottish barley with a little peat smoke. The distillery exclusively uses first-fill casks, be it bourbon or sherry, helping develop a rich, sweet characters in the whisky. Expect big, bold baking spices, juicy red fruit and citrus, and woody smoke in this complex Speyside single malt.
