Interesting fact… Benromach 10 Year Old whisky spells its name whisky as it originates in Scotland. Had it been produced in America its name would be Benromach 10 Year Old whiskey, instead of whisky.
Nose: Dry, barley, big on malt and oak. Dry pine, fruity. A tad spirity. Sweet spices after a time and a hint of puckering prune from the sherry cask and maple fudge. Palate: Barley, slightly herbal, a little fruit, grassy. Big on malt, ground ginger. Finish: Mouthwateringly bittersweet. Ginger, dry sherry, almost hoppy after a while. Overall: A great whisky, its maturity belies its 10 years of age and the sherry finish has done wonders. ...more
The Master of Malt
Benromach 10
A lovely dram - one of the best 10 year olds I've tasted for a long time. More sherry on the nose than the colour would suggest and then a smooth mouth-coating fruity, smoky, spicy sensation that lingers for quite a while. Well worth a try!
A Whisky convert!
I have never liked whisky but at the 2009 Good Food Show in Birmingham my sister encouraged me to have a taste and wow what a lovely drink! It's smooth almost sherry like with a whisky kick - I'm now a complete convert, at least to Benromach Single Malt!
A malty gem
First real whisky I ever bought. To be honest it's my favourite Speyside distillery. Unlike most distillers who make substandard expressions of their generally good whisky, Benromach's expressions and varieties are amazing (albeit I haven't tried them all). Infact I'd even say that this is the worst of the ones I've tried, which is backwards because it's a wonderful dram!
