Benromach 40 Year Old, 2020 Release

At Benromach they handcraft their single malt Scotch whisky the time-honoured way and make it slowly, by sight, by sound, by touch, as it was made many years ago.

Their small team of distillers rely entirely on their senses and expertise to craft Benromach using traditional methods at every stage.

Benromach 40 Years Old is the result of four decades of careful maturation in both American hogsheads and ex Sherry casks. The marriage of these casks has combined to create a single malt of exceptional depth, complexity and balance.

Benromach 40 Years Old has a golden amber hue with sweet sherry, red apple and butterscotch aromas leading to mellow spices and a hint of creamy white chocolate. Aromatic pear and ripe banana provide a sweet backdrop to a spicy ginger note. Smooth on the palate, cracked black pepper is initially followed by dried tobacco, Seville orange and soft oak tannins, mingling with subtle liquorice before a long, dry and spicy finish.
