BENROMACH 2014 Vintage Cask Strength Batch 3

Distilled in 2012 and bottled brut de fût (cask strength), this Benromach single malt is a limited-edition release matured exclusively in first-fill ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks.

Benromach’s philosophy of using only first-fill casks ensures maximum interaction between spirit and wood, resulting in a whisky of heightened intensity and clarity. Bottled without reduction, this expression delivers a concentrated and expressive profile—often described as a true aromatic bomb—where spice, dark fruit and chocolate notes unfold with precision.

Like almost all Benromach releases, it also carries a delicately smoky signature, not overpowering but finely woven into the structure of the whisky. This refined smokiness, combined with bold cask influence, makes the bottling particularly compelling for drinkers seeking both power and balance.

Founded in 1898, Benromach Distillery draws inspiration from pre-1960s Speyside, producing whiskies that balance fruit, malt, oak and a subtle thread of smoke. Renowned for the exceptional quality of its distillate, Benromach places meticulous attention on every stage of production.

The distillery operates with a small team of three distillers, who carefully control each second of the distillation process. Only 100% Scottish ingredients are used, and every cask is filled, weighed and stamped by hand before being laid down to mature in traditional bonded warehouses.

Benromach single malts are made using a highly manual, craft-driven approach, relying on the expertise of its master distillers rather than automation. The brand’s visual identity pays tribute to its heritage: the red cap symbolises the distillery’s iconic chimney, while the logo is inspired by a historic sign once displayed on the pagoda roof.

A vibrant fusion of tradition and modernity, Benromach is widely admired for its unique maturations, slightly smoky house style, and dynamic contemporary image.
