The perfect gift for someone who ‘nose’ their whisky

Speyside’s smallest distillery, Benromach, has launched a gift pack which will allow whisky lovers to get the most out of Benromach’s flagship single malt, the 10 Years Old.

The gift pack includes a 70cl bottle of Benromach 10 Years Old and two Benromach Blenders’ glasses. The tulip shaped nosing glasses are designed to help whisky lovers get the most from their single malt. The deep bowl of the glass allows the drinker to ‘swirl’ the whisky, then the narrow funnel concentrates the aromas at the top of the glass.

The gift pack is made of contemporary tin plate, with subtle and sophisticated Benromach branding on it. A handy carry handle means the gift pack can be easily taken along to festive celebrations to share with others.

Michael Urquhart, Managing Director of Gordon & MacPhail, commented: “Nosing glasses really do improve the experience of whisky drinking, by capturing the aromas of the malt. Pour in a dram, swirl the glass and then savour the aromas of Benromach 10 Years Old – fresh green apples with a malty, digestive biscuit note and light peat smoke in the background.

“We think sharing a good single malt with friends is one of the most pleasant ways to spend an evening, which is why we decided to include two glasses.”

The Benromach Distillery, nestled in Speyside, employs just two men who make Benromach by hand, using the finest Scottish barely and the purest spring water from the nearby Romach Hills. They fill new spirit into the highest quality casks before being left to mature at the distillery for many years.

The Benromach gift pack is on sale now, RRP £34.99.

A trio pack featuring some of Benromach’s most popular expressions is also available, RRP £34.99. The pack contains three 20cl bottles of Benromach 10 years Old, along with the Benromach Peat Smoke and the Benromach Organic, which was the first certified organic single malt Scotch whisky.

Benromach 10 Years Old
Tasting note
Benromach 10 Years Old is created from the finest Scottish barley and pure spring water from the nearby Romach hills. After being matured for at least ten years, it emerges golden in colour and displays rich fruit, sweet chocolate and delicate spicy aromas. With a rich sherry influence, the mouth-watering palate coats the senses with exotic fruit flavours, toasted malt and a delicate hint of smoke.
