Benromach Traditional

Benromach Traditional Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 750ml 43% ABV is an older, discontinued expression from Benromach Distillery in Forres, Scotland, produced under the ownership of independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail.

Originally introduced following the distillery's reopening in 1998, Benromach Traditional reflects the distillery's revival of an older Speyside whisky style, combining fruity malt sweetness with gentle peat smoke and traditional oak maturation.

This non-age-statement expression offers an approachable balance of fresh orchard fruits, honey, creamy vanilla, toasted malt and delicate smoke. Subtle oak spice and a lightly drying finish provide additional character.

Bottled at 43% ABV in the 750ml export format, Benromach Traditional predates the distillery's later 10 Year Old-led core range and represents an interesting chapter in Benromach's modern history.

With its discontinued presentation and connection to the distillery's early years under Gordon & MacPhail, this expression is an appealing addition to collections of older Speyside single malts.
