Benromach 2001 Cask Strength

Product Description

Matured in freash bourbon barrels 87-89, 93 & 94. A full strength 9 year old Benromach bottled September 2010. Benromach Benromach Distillery was designed by Charles C. Diog & constructed at Forres in 1898 & was due to commence production in 1899. But demand for scotch collapsed when the principle purchaser of Benromach’s malt whisky Pattison‘s of Leith went bankrupt & Benromach Distillery sat silent as the next decade rolled by. Intermittent production followed until major investment & refurbishment in the 1960s & 1970s turned Benromach into a thoroughly modern Speyside malt whisky distillery, only to close again in 1983. Ten years later it was purchased by the independent bottler Gordon & Mac Phail who fired up its single pair of stills in 1998 & nurtured Benromach ever since. Benromach Distillery welcomes visitors into the Benromach Distillery visitor centre, offers distillery tours & is a participant in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. Nose: Fresh with subtle esters & toasted malt. Sweet vanilla flavours with hints of cream toffee, with a fresh pear note emerging. Palate: An initial burst of chilli spice, mouth warming, yet very smooth & creamy. A hint of liquorice & earthy influences linger.
