Detailed Description
Very few malts can stand anything like as much ageing as this Benromach has managed. Which makes it all the more amazing that the whisky inside the bottle can still seem so fresh. Of course, over fifty-five years, the angels get to take more than their fair share – only eighty-three bottles were yielded from the cask – but what remains is a fantastic concentration of flavour and an almost eerie youthfulness.

Palate: A splendid taste with a warm feel to it. Not to smoky but silky smooth.
Finish: Very smooth and flavorful.
