Benromach Distillery Exclusive, 60.6%

THE VIDEO

After what was easily the most wonderful distillery trip that I’ve ever had in Scotland, here we have part of the wonderful haul of products that I brought back with me. A distillery exclusive bottlings that is ten days from being a fifteen-year-old, cask strength, first fill sherry monster that delivers all of the profile of the distillery with huge complexity and sweet, chewy sherry influence. Four of us were at this tasting room and a unanimous ‘woah’ passed through all of us upon the first sip. It is what I think of when I imagine Benromach – gently smoky, huge cask influences from first-fill barrels, a slightly funky profile and a massive finish that keeps on going.
