- Description
- This 1982 Benromach spent 39 years in a single first-fill Burgundy cask, an unusual choice that imparted deep wine influence alongside Speyside's natural fruitiness. Bottled at cask strength (59.9%) and personally selected by the Urquhart family, it layers stewed apples and milk chocolate against black pepper, citrus, and summer berries in a remarkably balanced composition. The extended finish is full and warming, revealing the complexity that decade-spanning maturation can achieve. A limited window into how wine casks can elevate Speyside character when given sufficient time.
