BENROMACH Distillery launched its second annual release of Benromach 40 Year Old on Tuesday (July 19).
A little more than 1000 bottles of this rare, single malt are available to whisky enthusiasts globally.
The launch followed a prestigious award win for Benromach 40 Year Old at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2022, where it won Best in Show.
Bottled at a cask strength of 57.6 per cent, Benromach 40 Year Old, 2022 release, spent over four decades maturing in sherry casks.
Keith Cruickshank, Distillery Manager at Benromach, said: “This rare whisky truly is something special and reflects the nuance and character of the casks it has been matured in.
"Fragrant cinnamon and ginger spices complement flavours of Seville oranges, sweet Morello cherries, stewed berries and a hint of roasted hazelnut.
"This is combined with baked apple, liquorice, subtle black pepper and rich dark chocolate notes, before finishing with forest fruits and mature oak.”
The single malt is displayed in a striking black stained solid oak wooden box with copper-coloured detailing and printed metal plaques.
The dark amber single malt is presented in the bespoke Benromach bottle which features a heavily embossed and gold-foiled label to complete the quality feel.
Benromach 40 Year Old 2022 is priced at £2000. For more information, visit: www.benromach.com/aged-40-years_2022.
