Tasting Notes

NOSE: The nose of Benromach 24 Year Old is rich and complex, with layers of deep fruit, spice, and wood. Initially, the whisky presents aromas of dried fruits—raisins, figs, and sultanas—that are complemented by a subtle sweetness of honey and vanilla. There’s a distinct oakiness that adds warmth, with notes of toasted wood and a light spice of cinnamon and nutmeg. The sherry cask influence is apparent with hints of dark chocolate, dried cherries, and a touch of leather. A delicate smokiness weaves through the background, giving the whisky an earthy, almost rustic quality. The overall bouquet is inviting and layered, offering a harmonious balance of sweetness, spice, fruit, and oak.

TASTE: On the palate, the Benromach 24 Year Old is full-bodied and rich, with a well-rounded profile that immediately coats the mouth. The dried fruit notes from the nose—raisins, figs, and prunes—are the first to make an impression, followed by a creamy sweetness of honey and toffee. The oak influence becomes more prominent, with hints of cedarwood and toasted almonds providing a backbone to the flavor. A gentle spice develops, with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of black pepper adding warmth and complexity. The sherry cask character continues to shine through, offering dark chocolate, orange peel, and a hint of dried cherries. The whisky’s higher ABV provides a robust flavor profile, but it remains smooth and elegant, with the sweetness and oak perfectly balancing the more intense notes.

FINISH: The finish of Benromach 24 Year Old is long and satisfying, with the dried fruit and spice lingering on the palate. The oak gives the whisky a dry, warming sensation, while the sweet honey and toffee notes gently fade away. A touch of dark chocolate and dried fruit continues to evolve as the whisky fades, with a subtle smokiness returning in the background, leaving a lasting impression of depth and complexity. The finish is robust yet smooth, with a fine balance of sweetness, spice, and oak that rounds off the experience beautifully.
