The Benromach 15yo Bourbon & Sherry Casks is a single malt whisky with a rich and storied history, distilled at the Benromach Distillery in Morayshire, Scotland. Founded in 1898, the distillery is known for its commitment to crafting whisky in small batches, emphasizing the importance of individual cask maturation. This 15-year-old expression is a testament to the distillery's dedication to quality, as it represents a stage of remarkable maturation, resulting in a refined and sophisticated flavor profile.
Matured in a combination of ex-sherry and ex-bourbon casks, with a greater emphasis on sherry than the Benromach 10 Year Old, this whisky offers a lusciously rich and charming reflection of Speyside both past and present. The nose has beautifully balanced notes of sherry and vanilla pod, with zesty orange and root ginger, alongside a delicate chamomile and menthol. The palate brings stewed fruits, rich fruit cake, and plums with sharper notes of red apple skin and kiwi fruit. The finish is long and warming with a hint of wood smoke.
At 43% ABV, this whisky is a 'classic Speyside single malt Scotch whisky' that is jam-packed with fruit, chocolatey, and light smoke notes, making it a favorite among fans of traditional styles. The use of only first fill casks in their maturation warehouse contributes to the complexity and unique character of the final liquid, resulting in a creamy and sweet palate with ripe apples, charred oak, dark chocolate, toasted malt, orange peel, and a subtle hint of smoke.
The Benromach 15yo is unique due to its maturation in a combination of first fill ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, with a higher emphasis on sherry casks. This results in a complex flavor profile that balances sweet, spicy, smoky, and earthy notes.
Compared to the Benromach 10 Year Old, the 15yo has a richer and more complex flavor profile due to its extended maturation period and greater emphasis on sherry casks.
Benromach 15yo is best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up its complex aromas and flavors. It can also be paired with rich desserts or enjoyed as a post-dinner digestif.
The Benromach 15yo Bourbon & Sherry Casks is a stellar example of what a meticulously crafted single malt can achieve. Its complex flavor profile, marked by a harmonious blend of sweet fruit, spicy ginger, and subtle smoke, makes it an absolute delight for both seasoned whisky aficionados and newcomers alike. The use of first fill casks and a longer maturation period amplifies its depth, offering a truly memorable and refined drinking experience.
