Spring 2025 Banquet

An Exquisite Bottling

No 9: Benromach Distillery

The Management Committee are delighted to announce the ninth in our exclusive collection of Keepers of the Quaich unique Scotch Whisky bottlings. This bottling will only be sold via the Royal Mile Whiskies website. 

This bottling has been chosen from a small selection of handpicked cask samples by Stuart Urquhart, Operations Director, with family run company Gordon & MacPhail. Stuart has selected this cask from the Benromach distillery. The spirit was put into a 1st fill Bourbon cask on the 9th May 2005 for 13 years, then into a 1st fill Oloroso Sherry cask for 6 years.   It was bottled on the 28th June 2024 making it 19 years old. 

The spirit has not been chill filtered and has been bottled at 58.1%. The outturn of the cask yielded 290 bottles so Keepers will be limited to two bottles each. It will be made available for sale from 10.00 (GMT) on 14th May 2025 and will be sold strictly on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis. Please note that you will need your roll number to purchase the bottle. The Society politely requests that bottles are not resold.

Nose: Intense, elegant and enticingly balanced fruit notes: prunes, caramelised apricots. Hint of moss and carnation. 

Palate: Mature oak intertwines endlessly with prunes and dark chocolate. Candied orange. A wintery liquid dessert.
