Benromach
release cask strength First Fill Sherry
cask matured single malt.
 The Benromach Peat Smoke Sherry Cask
Matured is the first peated sherry cask
matured single malt from the Benromach
distillery, a limited release expression
of 6,500 bottles.
Created using heavily peated Scottish
barley, it has been matured in First
Fill Sherry hogsheads which were laid down in
2010 before being bottled at a cask
strength of 59.9% ABV in 2018
Described as having a dark amber hue
from the its time spent maturing in the
First Fill Sherry hogsheads, Benromach
say its "sweet flavours are balanced
with a hint of white pepper, which gives
way to dried fruits complemented by
Sherry undertones. The lingering finish
offers a seriously smoky edge".
Keith Cruickshank, Benromach Distillery
Manager, said: "This is the first time
Benromach has released a Sherried Peat
Smoke expression and we’re very proud of
its unique flavour profile. This
expression perfectly balances the
smokiness with the sweeter Sherry notes,
giving rise to a spectacularly rich and
intense dram.
"At Benromach, we handcraft all our
whiskies which allows us the flexibility
to experiment with different distilling
and maturation techniques. Our small
batch releases have enjoyed considerable
success in the past and for those that
enjoy Benromach’s classic style with a
wisp of smoke, we’re confident that this
new expression will be particularly
popular.’"
Benromach Peat Smoke Sherry Cask Matured
has a recommended retail price of
£64.99/€74.99 and is now available from specialist online whisky retailers
such as The Whisky Exchange,
Master of Malt and

Producer's Tasting Notes:
Colour:
A beautiful dark amber hue from many
years of maturation in First Fill Sherry
hogsheads.
Nose:
Hints of honey cured meats mingling with
orange marmalade.
Palate:
Sweet top notes and a hint of warming
white pepper appear, followed by touches
of dried fruits. Delicate hints of
ginger develop on the tongue with a
lingering edge of bonfire embers on the
finish.
