Benromach 35 Year Old

The Benromach Distillery Company Ltd is celebrating a successful end to 2016 after winning two coveted awards – the Masters award for its Benromach 35 Years Old single malt whisky at The Spirits Design Masters and Keith Cruickshank was crowned Distillery Manager of the Year at the Icons of Whisky 2017 awards.

The Spirits Masters judging panel was impressed with the design of the Benromach 35 Years Old, which is an exceptional whisky with real heritage and an original tale or two, having been laid down to mature in the 1980s.

Benromach worked with Edinburgh based design agency, Stuff Creative, to create the unique packaging. The bespoke decanter style bottle protecting the precious whisky is encased within a wooden presentation box, reflecting the various elements which have gone in to making the whisky; the copper stills, the dark, grained wood of the original washbacks, and the white of the limewashed distillery walls.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Golden amber

Nose: rich sherry influences with orange marmalade, kiwi and grapefruit aromas, complemented by gorgeous cinnamon spice

Taste: initially, it is sweet on the palate with honey, fruitcake, ripe banana and melon flavours. Watch out for the smooth white chocolate edge as it develops, combined with a soft menthol note, giving a full body and long and smooth fruity finish.
