Whiskies (20)

Benromach 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 A well-structured dram with character and delicacy. Very refreshing. A perfect Speysider to recommend.

Benromach 1969
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 An old-fashioned whisky for an old-fashioned winter's evening. Wins points for being cuddly rather than complex.

Benromach 21 Years Old, Old Tokaji Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00% 7 Rather unbalanced. The nose is far more promising than the palate. What's the point of the finish?

Benromach 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 8 Balanced and poised.

Benromach 8 Years Old Maderia
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00% 7 The nose was promising but the palate did not deliver all. Water stresses the bitterness.

Benromach Burgundy Wood
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00% 7 Give this whisky time to open on a sweeter side.

Benromach Organic
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00% 7 This suggests a young spirit and lots of oak. Not balanced.

Benromach Origins
Single Malt - Scotland - 0.00% 7 Balance and character. Recommended.

Benromach Origins Batch 2 Port Pipes 12 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00% 8 Wholly matured in port pipes. Shows great balance and style for a 12 Years Old and is marked accordingly.

Benromach Traditional
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 A spring meadow with dew on the grass.

Cadenhead's Benromach 1976, 27 Years Old Authentic Collection
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.10% 8 The nose promised more smoothness. Quite an austere character on the palate but with a lot of class.

Gordon & MacPhail 10 Years Old Cask Strength
Single Malt - Scotland - 59.90% 7 Fresh and vibrant. Attractive.

Gordon & MacPhail 18 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 The best Benromach I have tasted. I wonder what she should expect in a few years from the new stillhouse.

Gordon & MacPhail 1973
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 7 After a weekend walk in the country? Mid to late afternoon. Who needs tea? Just a slice of fruit pie and a generous dram of Benromach.

Gordon & MacPhail Benromach 1974
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 I have always found Benromach assertively flowery, herbal, almost cedary. Will this highly distinctive character prevail in the new, smaller, stills introduced since the change of ownership? Tastings...

Gordon & MacPhail Benromach 1980
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.60% 7 A wake up dram. Not a great deal of complexity but an enjoyable fruitiness to make you think of springtime.

Gordon & MacPhail Benromach 22 Years Old, Port Wood Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00% 7 Should the pink tangerine blush of this whisky hint at Bacchus? He may have glanced at the cask, but I can't find him in the glass.

Gordon & MacPhail Benromach Peat Smoke
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00% 7 Once the middle fills out will be a lovely addition to the range.

Gordon & MacPhail Benromach Sassicaia Wood Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00% 8 A success.

Gordon & MacPhail Benromach Traditional
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00% 8 This one really does have subtlety. A lovely, delicate aperitif.
