Benromach 15 Year Old

Benromach 15 Year Old is a Speyside single malt from the Benromach Distillery in Forres, founded in 1898 and owned since 1993 by the family firm Gordon & MacPhail, who revived it to make whisky in a traditional, subtly smoky Speyside style. It is matured exclusively in first-fill casks: malts from first-fill bourbon and first-fill sherry casks are brought together and bottled at 43% ABV with natural colour. The result is a rich, fruity dram where toffee, forest fruits and dark chocolate meet cracked pepper and a gentle thread of peat smoke, with the sherry casks adding depth and the bourbon wood a creamy, orchard-fruit sweetness. Presented in a 700ml bottle with gift box.
