Benromach's 15 year old is another delicious expression from Speyside's smallest distillery. This is their second oldest release since re-opening in 1998, it is a rich whisky with notes of creamy vanilla custard, fruitcake and honey, with touches of cocoa and warming spice. A thread of smoke wraps around these flavours and lingers in the finish - a complex and very satisfying dram all round.

A well-aged Benromach, what a treat! A duo of first-fill sherry and bourbon casks housed this one for over two decades, until it was bottled at 21 years old. This Speysider boasts that classic subtle smokiness we know and love from the distillery alongside gentle spices and fruit.

Deep Oloroso sherry comes through on the nose, with stewed plums, raspberry jam and juicy sultanas initially followed by hints of Pinot Noir, orange peel and dried apricots. Vanilla, toasted brown sugar, milk chocolate and aromatic ginger spice appear underneath with sweet peat warmth throughout.
Notes of stewed orchard fruit hit the palate, chocolate-covered raisins and Seville orange marmalade are followed by hints of set honey, praline, red berries and gingerbread. In the backdrop, there?s cracked black pepper, tangy oak and smoke from a smouldering bonfire.
Sherry tones lead the finish, with a hint of buttery toffee apples, oak spice and fruitcake.
