Benromach 50YO

What were you doing in December, 1972?

Rested for just as long as needed, this stunning example of ancient Speyside whisky is to be truly marvelled at.

I got to try this for the first time at Benromach, as part of The Champions 2025 programme. Needless to say that the three of us were stunned when they rolled out that stunning looking decanter.

Matured for it’s entire life in a selection of sherry casks, this Speyside style delivers class, layers, subtlety and amazement upon every smell and taste.

There isn’t a lot of old Benromach kicking around, between the distillery and parent company, Gordon & MacPhail, old examples of this stuff are hard to find, even from source. That classic smokiness is still faintly there, but doesn’t show off as much as it does on more classic expressions.

What can I say, it’s a 50 Year Old single malt that I’ve been able to try twice, I am an incredibly lucky individual.
