Benromach Speyside Single Malt Scotch 15 Year Old Whiskey

Benromach Speyside Single Malt 15-Year-Old is the embodiment of the Benromach Distillery's commitment to crafting authentic Speyside single malts with a unique twist, a tradition that dates back to their establishment in 1898. This expression pays homage to the era before the 1960s when Speyside distilleries occasionally used local peat to fire their kilns when coal supplies were scarce, resulting in a balanced single malt with a subtle hint of smokiness. Unfortunately, this tradition waned with the advent of commercial malting practices. However, when Gordon & Macphail acquired the distillery in 1993, they revived this traditional style. Today, they continue to employ pure Chapeltown Springs water sourced from the Romach Hills, a mere two miles from the distillery, and benefit from the expertise of three master distillers. Maturation is achieved using first-fill sherry casks from William and Humbert in Spain, as well as new oak casks from Antonio Paez Lobato. The Benromach line is further enriched by the remarkable private collection of beautifully aged single malts from the Urquharts of Elgin family, ensuring that the brand remains diverse and committed to handcrafted production.
