Benromach Heritage 40 Year

This item is archived.

The Benromach Heritage 40 Year has been released to replace the Benromach 35 Year. From the same parcel of 1970s stocks as the 35, the 40 is composed of whiskies matured in ex-Bourbon Hogsheads and ex-Sherry casks. Bottled at 43%.

Producer Tasting Note & Description

"At Benromach we handcraft our single malt Scotch whisky the time-honoured way and make it slowly, by sight, by sound, by touch, as it was made many years ago. Our small team of distillers rely entirely on their senses and expertise to craft Benromach using traditional methods at every stage.

Benromach 40 Years Old is the result of four decades of careful maturation in both American hogsheads and ex Sherry casks. The marriage of these casks has combined to create a single malt of exceptional depth, complexity and balance.

Benromach 40 Years Old has a golden amber hue with sweet sherry, red apple and butterscotch aromas leading to mellow spices and a hint of creamy white
chocolate. Aromatic pear and ripe banana provide a sweet backdrop to a spicy ginger note. Smooth on the palate, cracked black pepper is initially followed by dried tobacco, Seville orange and soft oak tannins, mingling with subtle liquorice before a long, dry and spicy finish."
