BTC #3: Benromach 2008-2017, 9yo, 59.5% – OB for Whiskysite.nl

Posted on 9 December 2017 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

After a very acceptable score yesterday, to my standards at least, we went in for a non-Highland whisky. Not much of an introduction, since we go in blind… Sniff: I got quite a lot of peat on the nose, but … Continue reading →

Benromach 1974, 41yo, Sherry Cask, 49.1%

Posted on 13 September 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Finally, I decided to try this baby. G&M/Benromach sent it to me a few months ago, right about when all the other reviews came online. Somehow I’ve not been tasting a lot of whisky lately and I wanted to properly … Continue reading →

Posted on 24 March 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

When I was at the distillery in November last year, there was a bourbon cask available for hand filling. This is not that cask. This is the (comparable) cask available at the distillery at the beginning of 2015. The handfilled … Continue reading →

Posted on 15 February 2016 by Sjoerd de Haan-Kramer

Little over a week ago I got a nice, but empty envelope from G&M in Elgin. The only thing in there was a description of how nice it would be to taste the new 35 year old Benromach. I expected a … Continue reading →
