- Description
- Benromach's 17-year-old Centenary Bottling spent its final two years in rare sherry casks dating from the 1880s and 1890s, imparting deep character to this 1998 release. The whisky balances Speyside's typical orchard fruit and malt sweetness with rich sherry influence—dried fruits, polished leather, and warming spice. At 43%, the spirit is elegant and accessible, with a long, warming finish. Released to mark Gordon & Macphail's revitalization of the dormant distillery, it represents a pivotal moment in the Benromach story.
