Winemaking notes
Benromach Distillery in Speyside has unveiled the first annual batch release of its 40 Years Old, with just over 1,000 bottles available worldwide. Bottled at a cask strength of 57.1%, this rare single malt whisky is natural in colour and was laid down in 1981 before spending four decades maturing in the finest first-fill Oloroso sherry casks. The result is an exquisite single malt and the oldest expression released by Benromach.
Viticultural notes
Benromach is a traditional Speyside distillery owned by a family intent on producing single malt using time honoured methods. Its small team of distillers rely entirely on their expertise and senses to make the finest handmade whisky. A small number of casks maturing in its dunnage warehouses were selected for this first annual batch release, with a further release planned each year.
Tasting notes
Matured in the finest hand-selected first-fill Oloroso sherry casks, our FORTY YEAR OLD single malt delivers rich ginger and stewed fruit aromas. Seville orange, red apple and demerara sugar followed by a citrus zest finish.
