What does Benromach 15 Year Old taste like?
The Benromach 15 Year Old is known for its rich, full-bodied Highland character, offering pronounced notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and sweet spice. Thanks to its maturation in first-fill ex-sherry casks, it also delivers a beautiful, subtle wisp of classic smoke on the finish.
Is Benromach a peated whisky?
Unlike many modern Speyside whiskies which are entirely unpeated, Benromach intentionally uses a modest amount of peat during the malting process. This gives their 15 Year Old a slightly smoky, fireside character reminiscent of classic Speyside whiskies from the mid-20th century.
Who owns the Benromach distillery?
Benromach is independently owned by Gordon & MacPhail, one of Scotland's most renowned bottlers and whisky merchants. The Elgin-based family business carefully revived the distillery after purchasing it in 1993.
Where is the Benromach distillery located?
The Benromach distillery is located on the edge of the ancient cathedral town of Forres in Moray, Scotland. It is one of the smaller working distilleries in the Speyside region, employing just a handful of experienced distillers to run the entire production.
