    This malt reminds me of Bowmore 12, only better. Parallels are found in the fruit-to-peat-to-vegetal profile that each whisky seems to share. Keen observers might note that, for me, the association with… read more

    This is the oldest Benromach I have tried to date and of course from an era that the distillery was not yet in the hands of Gordon & Macphail (because they only took ownership in 1993). It has a wonderful… read more

    I visited Benromach in the summer of 2010, but since it was a Sunday and the distillery was closed, I did not get to see all that much. The day before we had visited the Gordon & Macphail shop in Elgin… read more

    When visiting a distillery, one often gets the chance to fill a bottle from a cask in the visitor center. It is no different at Benromach. The sample that I am trying today was filled by Teun van Wel, … read more

    Benromach distillery is Speyside’s smallest - located on the outskirts of the ancient market town of Forres, in north-east Scotland. Just two experienced distillers passionately hand-craft Benromach … read more

    Nose - Marshmallow, spice and leather jackets. Like a sweet hippy incense. Lovely. Palate - Very silky, oily, it slips around your mouth and almost seems too much but then the flavours come through. It's… read more

    The independent bottler Gorden & MacPhail is owner of Speyside’s smallest operating distillery since 1993: Benromach. Today I’m trying the ‘new’ Benromach, i.e. whisky that has been distilled and matured… read more
