The perfect
gift for someone who 'nose' their
whisky.
Speyside’s
smallest distillery, Benromach, has
launched a gift pack which will allow
whisky lovers to get the most out of
Benromach’s flagship single malt, the 10
Years Old.
The gift pack includes a 70cl bottle of
Benromach 10 Years Old and two Benromach
Blenders’ glasses. The tulip shaped
nosing glasses are designed to help
whisky lovers get the most from their
single malt. The deep bowl of the glass
allows the drinker to ‘swirl’ the
whisky, then the narrow funnel
concentrates the aromas at the top of
the glass.
The gift pack is made of contemporary
tin plate, with subtle and sophisticated
Benromach branding on it. A handy carry
handle means the gift pack can be easily
taken along to festive celebrations to
share with others.
Michael Urquhart, Managing Director of
Gordon & MacPhail, commented: "Nosing
glasses really do improve the experience
of whisky drinking, by capturing the
aromas of the malt. Pour in a dram,
swirl the glass and then savour the
aromas of Benromach 10 Years Old - fresh
green apples with a malty, digestive
biscuit note and light peat smoke in the
background.
"We think sharing a good single malt
with friends is one of the most pleasant
ways to spend an evening, which is why
we decided to include two glasses."
The Benromach Distillery, nestled in
Speyside, employs just two men who make
Benromach by hand, using the finest
Scottish barely and the purest spring
water from the nearby Romach Hills. They
fill new spirit into the highest quality
casks before being left to mature at the
distillery for many years.
The Benromach
20cl Trio Gift Pack
A trio pack featuring some of
Benromach’s most popular expressions is
also available.
The pack
contains three 20cl bottles of Benromach
10 years Old, along with the Benromach
Peat Smoke and the Benromach Organic,
which was the first certified organic
single malt Scotch whisky.
The three malts included in the gift
pack showcase the finest qualities of
Benromach and all are award winners.
Gift packs are the ideal present to
introduce people to whisky or for whisky
lovers to try different expressions.
Both the Benromach gift packs are
available from
