Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 43% ABV
The Benromach 15 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the distillery's most awarded expression, often hailed as their "Classic" Speyside single malt. It is crafted to revive the "lost" Speyside style of the pre-1960s, characterized by a rich, handcrafted spirit with a delicate, integrated thread of smoke.
Tasting Notes
The 15-year maturation results in a profile that balances intense fruit and spice with a gentle charred oak smokiness.
Aroma: Sweet toffee and vanilla pod lead into zesty orange, cracked black pepper, and peat smoke. You may also detect rich forest fruits, dark chocolate, and dried banana.
Palate: A creamy, rounded mouthfeel featuring luscious fruit cake, stewed plums, and red apple. These are layered with dark chocolate, toasted malt, and warming spices like cinnamon and ginger.
Finish: A long and drying finish marked by notes of charred oak, cocoa, and a refreshing hint of mint.
