The full story & FAQBackground · serving notes · questions
Benromach distillery
Benromach was founded in 1898 near Forres in Speyside. It closed in 1983, was bought by the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail in 1993 and reopened in 1998. A small team makes the spirit by hand, and most releases use lightly peated barley to recreate the gently smoky Speyside style of the past.
The whisky
Benromach describe the 15 Year Old as a balance between cask influence and subtle smoke. Fifteen years in first-fill sherry and bourbon casks give a dark amber colour, sweet toffee and cracked black pepper on the nose, then a creamy palate of ripe apple, charred oak, dark chocolate and orange peel.
How to enjoy it
Pour it neat at room temperature and give it a few minutes in the glass. A drop of water brings the fruit forward. It suits the end of a meal, alongside dark chocolate or hard cheese.
Frequently asked
How is the 15 Year Old different from the 10?
Both use first-fill sherry and bourbon casks and are bottled at 43% ABV. The extra five years bring a darker colour and more toffee, dark chocolate and dried fruit, with the smoke more integrated.
Is it peated?
Yes, lightly. Benromach's Signature range uses barley peated to around 10-12 PPM, so the smoke is soft and sits behind the fruit and oak.
Can I see it before I buy?
Yes. Book a private viewing at our showroom at 2 Sims Close, #02-10, through our concierge on WhatsApp +65 9680 5856.

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.
