Benromach prides itself for producing "traditional" Speyside Scotch with a touch of peat. Historically, pre-1960s, the region was known for smokier styles but since then, unpeated whiskies have mostly prevailed.

The spring water used in the whiskey comes from the Romach Hills. This is a cask strength single malt release distilled in 2003, that only spends time in one type of barrel as opposed to the brand's signature sherry finishes.

Tasting Notes

"The absence of the sherry makes the smoke taste less barbecuey than their other styles. Instead it's more of a classic charcoal smoke, but never rubbery or saline as with Islays. There is a good hit of fruit, vanilla, caramel and licorice. The smoke ties all those flavors together as a delicate accent rather than the main attraction. For those wanting to venture into the world of peat, this is a good way of easing in."
