Benromach 21 Year
Released in October 2020, the Benromach 21 Year is a new addition to the distillery's core range, which includes a 10-year-old and 15-year-old as well. This Scottish single malt matured exclusively in first-fill sherry and bourbon casks.
Benromach was mothballed in 1983 but bought 10 years later by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail. The distillery eventually reopened in 1998.

Tasting Notes
"Extremely elegant yet rich. Oranges, milk chocolate, leather and tobacco leaves, with just a tinge of triple sec. Subtle whispers of fudge, damp oak and a very gentle barbecue note. The oak is quite dominant on the palate, without veering over the edge. Somewhat dry with a tinge of black pepper and breakfast tea, but also fudge, brown sugar and orange peel. Whispers of menthol and earthy smoke. The Benromach 21 Year shows an entirely new, delicious side of this distillery. "
