Benromach 10 Years [700ML]

Description

What makes a Speyside whisky truly exceptional when it carries just the right whisper of smoke?

Benromach 10 Years represents the perfect marriage of Highland tradition and innovative maturation. This distinguished Speyside single malt stands apart with its lightly peated character – a rarity in the region known for elegant, unpeated expressions. The distillery’s commitment to using traditional methods with first-fill bourbon and sherry casks creates complexity that rivals expressions like Tomintoul 16 Years Speyside and the smoky sophistication found in BenRiach Smoky 12 Years.
