Facts

Gordon & MacPhail revived Benromach to restore a distillery style that nearly vanished. Rich malt meets a faint drift of smoke. This cask strength bottling reaches the glass without chill filtration or added colour. What you pour is the spirit as it left the warehouse. Malty sweetness and fresh fruit lead on the nose. Darker char and coffee notes follow close behind. Orange, pineapple, and lychee mingle with brown sugar on a concentrated palate. Pour it neat. The weight and warmth reward slow sips.

About the distillery

Distillery

Benromach

Benromach is a distillery located in the town of Forres, in the Speyside region of Scotland. Founded in 1898, the distillery has had a tumultuous history, changing hands and closing down several times before finally being purchased and reopened by Gordon and MacPhail in 1998. Benromach produces a range of whiskies, including the Benromach 10 Year Old, the Benromach 15 Year Old, and the Benromach Peat Smoke. The distillery is known for its traditional methods of production, including floor malting a portion of its barley on-site and using traditional wooden washbacks. Benromach is that it is one of the smaller distilleries in Speyside, producing just 160,000 liters of whisky per year. Despite its small size, the distillery has won numerous awards and accolades for its whiskies, including a gold medal at the International Wine and Spirit Competition for its Benromach 10 Year Old.

About the Benromach 11 years Cask Strength

Benromach 11 years Cask Strength is a single malt Scotch whisky from Speyside, Scotland. Benromach bottles this expression at natural cask strength after eleven years in oak. There is no chill filtration and no added colour. At 58.5% ABV it delivers a direct from the cask profile that rewards patient sipping neat. Owned by Gordon & MacPhail, Benromach sits in Forres on the Malt Whisky Trail. Since 1998 the family-owned distillery has worked to revive a Speyside style nearly lost to modern production. Before the 1960s, subtle peat smoke sat at the heart of many Speyside malts. Benromach keeps that older idea alive through careful malting and small batch runs. Rich handcrafted malt carries a delicate hint of peat smoke through every batch. Distillers manage fermentation and distillation by sight, sound, and touch. They avoid automated controls to keep each run honest and small in scale. The Cask Strength line is released in small batches matured in first-fill bourbon and sherry casks. On the nose, malty sweetness sits beside fresh fruit, orange zest, and vanilla. The palate layers fruity pineapple and lychee with brown sugar and dark chocolate. Earthy ash, char, and coffee add depth. Sea salt and lemon brighten the edges before a soft smoky finish lingers with sweet malt warmth. Benromach 11 years Cask Strength suits drinkers who want Speyside character with more weight than a standard 43% release. Enjoy it neat in a tulip glass and let the spirit open slowly across several sips. The concentration brings fruit, spice, and smoke closer together. It is a bold choice for anyone exploring cask strength single malts from an independently minded distillery.
