Whisky Review 3 Benromach 30 Year Old

For the final review in the Benromach miniseries I take a look at the Benromach 30 Year Old.

Matured for 30 Years in a mixture of refill and first fill sherry casks this is a dram that demands time and attentions, and quite rightly so,

The whisky was distilled during the ownership of United Distillers (which in time formed Diageo) prior to Gordon and MacPhail's purchase of the distillery in 1993.

Malt Music

This whisky makes you want to work your way deeper into your chair and turn down the lights. What music could do this better then Mogwai's 'Happy Face' from the Album Les Revenants

Whisky Review 2 - Benromach 10 and Benromach 10 100 Proof

Sometimes just one whisky simply won't do and in this review I look at both the Benromach 10 and also their 57% release the 10 100 Proof.

Both are great examples of a pre 1960's Speyside profile. Both have the same cask make up and are non chill filtered and sport their natural colour.. just as the Whisky Gods intended.

I hope you enjoy this and in my next review I look at the Benromach 30 Year Old to finish off the Benromach mini series.

Malt Music

My chosen malt music for these two fine drams is a bit of a curve ball but one to check out - Ain't No Grave from Crooked Still

Cheers!

Whisky Review 1: Benromach 5 Year Old

Hi everyone,

Thanks for coming along and watching this video. This is the first review of the recently reformed Malt Box blog so I hope you enjoy it.

The Benromach 5yo from Speyside's smallest distillery is widely available online at specialist retailers and many local wine and spirit merchants who have Gordon & MacPhail stock and makes for a great mid week sipper.

Malt Music:

With this young and honest whisky I can see no better song to accompany this dram than Nirvana's Come as You Are (Unplugged). A perfect accompaniment to this fine and honest whisky.

Cheers
