The Benromach 1982 GM Private Collection is a distinguished 39-year-old single malt whisky from the historic Benromach Distillery, located in Forres, Morayshire. Established in 1898, the distillery has seen numerous changes in ownership and periods of closure before being revitalized by Gordon & MacPhail in 1993. Following extensive refurbishments, Benromach reopened, and its first whisky was released in 2009. This particular expression was distilled in 1982 and has been meticulously matured for 39 years in a single first-fill Burgundy cask. Personally selected by the Urquhart family of Gordon & MacPhail, it is bottled at a robust cask strength of 59.9% ABV. Hailing from the renowned Speyside region, this limited edition release is presented in a luxurious wooden box, with only 207 bottles available. On the nose, this whisky offers enticing aromas of sweet orchard fruits, cocoa, stewed apples, and milk chocolate, complemented by notes of oak, vanilla, strawberry, ginger, and spice. The palate is rich and sophisticated, revealing layers of raspberries, black pepper, lemon peel, and citrus fruits, alongside apple, strawberry, orange, and hints of chocolate and spice. The finish is long and lingering, with delectably fruity and spicy notes, and a touch of vanilla. This rare and exceptional whisky is a true testament to the craftsmanship and quality of Benromach whisky.
