Benromach Aged 15 Years
Benromach 15 Year Old is a beautifully matured single malt crafted at one of Speyside’s last traditional, independently owned distilleries. Aged exclusively in first-fill bourbon and sherry casks, this 15-year-old expression delivers depth, elegance, and complexity while staying true to Benromach’s signature lightly peated, old-style Speyside character.
This whisky builds upon the foundation of the 10-year-old, offering richer sherry influence, deeper oak integration, enhanced fruit layers, and a refined smoky backbone. A superb dram for those who appreciate balance, craftsmanship, and traditional whisky-making.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Sherry-rich dried fruits, dark chocolate, orange peel, warm oak, subtle smoke, and hints of figs and cinnamon.
Palate: Full-bodied and elegant with flavours of stewed plums, raisins, toffee, roasted nuts, charred oak, gentle peat smoke, and balanced spice. Smooth and complex with beautiful structure.
Finish: Long, warming, and refined with lingering sherry sweetness, soft smoke, dark chocolate, oak tannins, and spice.
Why It Stands Out
- Matured entirely in first-fill casks for richness
- Lightly peated for traditional Speyside character
- Perfectly balanced between sherry sweetness, malt depth, and smoke
- Made at a small independent distillery using hands-on methods
- Considered one of the best-value 15-year-old Scotch whiskies
- A superb step up from the Benromach 10 Year Old
