Benromach 10 Year Old - 100° Proof

This bottle is so ridiculously good in terms of quality and value. If you like deep earthiness, stewed fruit, smoke and complexity this is your dram. I add as much as 2-3 teaspoons of water to a 35ml dram of this and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes. It retains depth beyond it's ABV after water but really opens up. My only 10/10 bottle. For reference I love the regular strength bottling, and gravitate towards brands like Glengoyne, Glenfarclas, Springbank, Lagavulin and Ardbeg. This imperial strength bottle can compete in-terms of depth with much older whiskies if age is an issue for you.

It's true what they say about Benromach 10 100° that it's a gorgeous unique Speyside scotch, amongst the finest in any range age and price.

A beautifully balanced combination of bourbon casks and Oloroso sherry casks with a slightly peated spirit.

It's a complex interplay between creamy vanilla, nuts, roasted coffee beans, chocolate, dark fruits and salted caramel.
When you let it breathe and open up the nose on this is one of the best, very oldskool. Those aromas of freshly roasted coffee beans, nuts and chocolate is truly something to behold.

Bottled at a respectable 57% ABV non-chill filtered and non-colored this robust whisky is still friendly and accesible to anyone with patience yet it respects the purist, the spirit and the traditions too.
The 100° has big flavors but is gentle at 57% this is matured very well.
It has enough body to take some water and opens up with a few drops, patience is rewarded with this one.

I am not a peat or Islay fan but this is top shelf scotch and one of my favorites.

Gordon & MacPhail crafted an undervalued gem.
The Benromach 10 100° holds its own against many other older more expensive whiskies, this punches well above its weight.
It is an absolutely stunning complex rich and balanced traditional Speyside scotch.

This is an amazing Speyside, without water greets you with a firm hug as the complex dark fruit and smoke hit you with a firm wallop and then allow some oak through as the smoke remains with you. Quite beautiful. Adding water does calm everything down and seems to give you more time to appreciate it, either with or without I loved it.

This was a real surprise. For a 10 yr old & 57% with such depth of complex flavors, I’m back to buy a bunch more.

Homer In!

This dram is the business as far as I'm concerned. It's bottled at a good strength, non-chillfiltered and full of character. It's one to savour and take time with, tasting neat (it's smooth enough to do this even at 57%) and with various dribbles of water. The finish is extraordinarily long.

An excellent 10-year whisky with an excellent price. Very smooth, ideal to start drinking before strongest ones.

I have tried a few of Aberlour's A'Bunadh batches and liked them. At first, you get a good flavour of the sherry casks; rich and creamy. This is soon gone, and flavours of vanilla and oak then give way to tarry treacle with a good but not over strong hint of smoke which lasts for ages. As the Master of Malt tasting notes say, this is a mouthful of big flavours, but it is also smooth. A good winter's night whisky.

I added just a little water, so probably drinking at about 45-50%. Will buy again

A very nice everyday whisky not very complex

6th December 2016

Can't say anything negative about this one

23rd September 2016

A nice dram but at 57% I felt the flavours were overwhelmed until a drop of water was added which opened them out nicely. Didn't pick up much of a peak smoke but very pleasant nevertheless.

25th August 2016

It got everything I wish for in a whisky, very impressive.
A lot of whisky for the money.
