- Description
- Distilled in 1978 and aged for 40 years in a single refill sherry hogshead, this Benromach bottling represents one of the distillery's most aged expressions — only 184 bottles were produced at cask strength. Four decades of sherry cask influence have saturated the spirit with rich, complex dried fruit, chocolate, and warming spice without overwhelming Speyside's floral undertones. The cask-strength presentation preserves the full intensity of four decades' maturation. A remarkable aged Speyside for serious collectors seeking exceptional rarity and sherry depth.
