Distiller Notes
Critical Acclaim
All VintagesA luminous amber-bronze hue presages a multilayered yet approachable nose and palate. The underlying peatiness is more heather than smoke, while the olfactory notes are even more floral, enhanced by a hint of charcoal and a waft of toffee. With a satin-lined mouthfeel, the Scotch makes a sweet entrance before its dryness shows in notes of pekoe tea. Plum, root beer, and woodsiness are prominent midway. Caramel and Sherry barrel stand out on the vivacious finish.
Benromach distillery was first established in Forres, Scotland in 1898.
The Urquhart family of Elgin have always been passionate about whisky. John Urquhart began laying down casks of single malt at different distilleries in 1915, when everyone else was blending their whiskies.
It was the realisation of a long-held dream when the family acquired Benromach Distillery in 1993. Five years of meticulous refitting of the distillery followed before HRH Prince Charles officially reopened the doors in 1998.
Time well spent creating a style of single malt reminiscent of the days before commercial maltings. A time when Speyside distilleries malted their own barley using peat to fuel the fires and impart a distinctive touch of smoke to their whiskies. The resurrection of Benromach Distillery signalled the rediscovery of a lost style of Speyside single malt.
What Whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for.
Coming in a multitude of styles depending on its origin, Whisk(e)y’s flavors range across the board from the sweet, caramel and vanilla-dominated American Bourbons to the briny, peat-heavy Islay Single Malts from Scotland. Though production methods differ widely, all Whiskeys are made by distilling beer made from some type of grain, such as barley, corn, wheat or rye. After the distillation process is complete, the new, clear spirit is transferred to wooden casks where it matures, a process that can take up to thirty years or more.
