Benromach 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky - 70cl
Benromach's most awarded expression and the one most often cited as the definitive statement of the distillery's classic style. A natural and deeply satisfying progression from the 10 Year Old, the 15 Year Old benefits from five additional years exclusively in first-fill sherry and bourbon casks — with a notably greater emphasis on sherry than its younger sibling — producing a whisky of considerably deeper colour, richer fruit character, and more pronounced dark chocolate complexity. The result is precisely what Gordon & MacPhail had in mind when they reopened Benromach in 1998: an old-school Speyside single malt of genuine handcrafted character, beautifully balanced between the lush sweetness of quality first-fill sherry oak and the delicate Highland peat smoke at 12-14 PPM that is the distillery's defining signature. Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. with natural colour.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE
Sweet toffee and sherry lead with cracked black pepper, peat smoke, rich forest fruits, dark chocolate, dried banana, and zesty orange — deeper, darker, and more richly sherried than the 10 Year Old with every note beautifully integrated.
PALATE
Creamy and sweetly satisfying — ripe apples, dark chocolate, toasted malt, and orange peel with charred oak, stewed fruits, plum, ginger spice, and Benromach's characteristic subtle smoke threading through — rich, layered, and deeply characterful.
FINISH
Medium and creamy — soft smoke, dried fruit, sultana-heavy fruit cake, and a warming hint of menthol fading slowly — one of the most balanced and genuinely satisfying finishes in the Benromach range.
