Benromach 2005
This bottling has been chosen from a small selection of handpicked cask samples by Stuart Urquhart, Operations Director, with family run company Gordon & MacPhail.

It was bottled on the 28th June 2024 making it 19 years old.
Martine Nouet provided the bottle tasting note.
Colour: Warm amber, bright copper hues
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.
Finish: Lingering marzipan and glazed bergamot with a subtle spicy finale
