At last the Benromach distillery in Forres has unveiled its first foray into triple distillation!
This 2009 single malt was distilled once in a wash still then twice in a spirit still, and was matured in first fill bourbon barrels until 2017 when it was bottled at an ABV of 50%.
Triple distillation isn't too common with Scotch whisky, particularly not for whisky from the Speyside region so this Benromach makes for a very intriguing release!
AROMA WITHOUT WATER:
After a few inhalations you may detect strawberry, elderflower and sweet vanilla mingling with orange citrus.
TASTE WITHOUT WATER: Roll it around your mouth and savour the creamy malt, touch of white pepper and hints of zingy lime zest, sweet vanilla and toasted oak beautifully balanced with rich dark chocolate and smoky bonfire embers.
Jim Murray has scored this Benromach Triple Distilled 2009 as 88/100 in his 2020 Whisky Bible.
‘A really charming barley character'.
