Benromach 15
year old Speyside single malt whisky
launched today.
 Benromach today announced the addition
of the Benromach 15 year old to their
core range of classic Speyside whiskies.
The folks at Benromach tell me that the
new 15 year old has a distinctive golden
amber colour and a soft smokiness thanks
to long maturation in sherry and bourbon
casks. They say it tastes of luscious
sherry and rich fruitcake with stewed
plums and a hint of cocoa.
As with all Benromach whiskies, the 15
year old is hand-crafted by just three
distillers using the finest natural
ingredients at the Forres distillery.
As most of you will probably know,
Benromach, in Forres, was bought over by
Gordon & MacPhail in 1993 and carefully
restored.
It was opened once again in 1998 by HRH
Prince Charles and has since gained a
reputation for producing an innovative
range of distinctive Speyside whiskies
with pre-1960s character.
Ewen Mackintosh, Chief Operating Officer
of Gordon & MacPhail which owns the
Benromach Distillery Company Ltd, said:
"The Benromach story is a remarkable
one, and the launch of the 15 Years Old
marks a significant milestone in the
distillery’s history.
"The whisky has a great deal of
character and we hope it will appeal to
whisky lovers who have tried other
Benromach single malts and to those who
would like to see what a classic
pre-1960s Speyside malt is like."
As you can see the packaging for Benromach 15
year old
adopts the same design principles as the
10 year old, with the addition of gold
effect detailing to highlight the
premium nature of the product.
The bottle style and packaging reflects
the hand-crafted character of the
Benromach whiskies with the bottle’s
neck and shoulder resembling the shape of the Benromach
stills while the box, complete with
embossed hand-drawn lettering,
replicates their colour.
Bottled at 43% ABV the new Benromach 15
year old has an RRP of
£48.99 (prices may vary in export
markets because of duty and import
taxes). It will be available from whisky
specialist shops such as
The Whisky Exchange
