A 2015 release to the brilliant Benromach range. The Benromach 15 Year Old is matured in a selection of bourbon and Sherry casks, resulting in an intense but balanced flavour profile. There's big spices (think ginger, mint and a little sprinkle of cinnamon), there's juicy fruit (plum and clementine), there's a touch of smoky charred oak - all well placed and in harmony with each other. Yummers.
Spicy. Stone fruits. Honey. Slightly Peary but not overpowering. A truly delicious dram that will only get smoother with time.
Beautiful citrus and floral nose with a fantastic complex honeyed flavour that develops the longer you hold the whisky on the tongue. Long and satisfying finish with a pleasant taste of oak that sticks around for hours.
A gooey, everlasting, slightly underbaked (in the best possible way) orange shortbread of a whisky that's also been gently kissed with black pepper and vanilla. Just lovely.
This was a fantastic surprise as never tried any Benromach before. The smell and flavour is very rich, with smoked plum and dried fruits aromas. A nicely balanced sweetness and smokey notes. So much happening in the nose and on tongue, that I can put it even above the Balvenie.
Far too oaky. My wife asked for an un paled Speyside malt and was given this. Had to tell her it was a great present but frankly compared to other 15 yr malts it’s rubbish unless you like something very strong and more Talsker like!!
