1978 Benromach Single Cask #2606 40 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Another very rare Benromach single cask surfaces - this time drawn from a refill sherry hogshead (#2608) and bottled in 2018. A limited run of just 184 bottles, it comes beautifully presented in a bespoke oak box, designed to reflect the colour of the wooden washbacks at Benromach Distillery. At the time of writing, we have one only available.

Notes from Benromach...... enjoy the rich, sweet notes of honey and vanilla, mingling with ripe fruits, tangy lime and a touch of butterscotch and fresh ginger. Now take a sip. Savour the smooth sweetness beautifully balanced by a hint of pepper. Top notes of oak mingle with succulent pear and kiwi, rich dark chocolate and dried tobacco, with lingering spices and a wisp of peat smoke on the finish. Add A FEW DROPS OF WATER and take time to enjoy the nose as it develops… aromas of luscious raspberry and rhubarb mingle with creamy vanilla custard and vibrant lime zest followed by a subtle edge of fresh menthol. Now lift it to your lips and enjoy a slow sip…a creamy sweetness with a touch of warm pepper immediately emerges. Notes of poached summer berries and rich dark chocolate follow, leading to a subtle and lingering wisp of peat smoke on the finish. Magnificent. Tell us what you think. 56.3% Alc./Vol.
