Collective Review: Benromach 20 (2003) Bourbon Cask

Review by: Maltrunners Raygun’s Introduction: Some of these older single casks are coming out from the period after Gordon & MacPhail bought and refurbished Benromach, a process which was completed in 1998. These would be made in the medium peated style of about 12ppm and following their policy of using all first-fill casks. Not necessarily the optimal choice for something that’s going to be…

Benromach Polish Oak (blind)

Review by: Raygun Had a fair amount of Benromach and they’re one of the more reliable distillers out there in my experience. Sure, it might be nice if the core range was upped to 46%, but with the number of single casks and special releases, I won’t complain too much. Not many representatives of this moderately peated style, and it’s a shame. Never had a Polish oak cask before, so I wouldn’t…
