Aged 50 Years

2024 Release | Natural Colour | 54.6% vol
Sherry Casks
Aged 50 Years

Experience one of our oldest and rarest releases. Made by hand, shaped by time.

Launched in 2024, this highly limited-edition 50 Year Old Benromach single malt Scotch whisky was half a century in the making.

Filled in 1972 and left to mature for five decades, the influence of the sherry seasoned oak casks and our Benromach spirit, has beautifully created flavours of stewed fruit and orange zest, followed by strawberry and fruitcake flavours. The finish is long and full, with cracked black pepper and a subtle hint of Benromach’s signature smoke.

“When you try this whisky for the first time, it’s so complex, yet it’s so subtle. You need to give it time to allow its story to unwind. But when it does, it’s really a truly rewarding experience.”
