Benromach 2005 Bourbon #343 – 57.5%

This 2005 Benromach was bottled to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Kirsch Import.

An authentic expression of the Speyside tradition: This single malt was distilled on June 6, 2005, and matured for a full 21 years in a select first-fill bourbon barrel. At Benromach, the process is still carried out by hand today, from the manual filling of the casks to storage in the classic dunnage warehouses. This exclusive single-cask bottling was released on July 13, 2026, to mark the 50th anniversary of Kirsch Import. With a strictly limited run of just 178 bottles worldwide, this masterpiece of Scottish distilling is a rare opportunity for connoisseurs.

The liquid in the glass shimmers in an elegant pale gold, completely natural and unfiltered at cold temperatures. The bouquet is characterized by fragrant Seville oranges, which blend with ripe tropical fruits and a subtle hint of black pepper. On the palate, the power of the 57.5% ABV unfolds in a balanced composition of juicy citrus notes, creamy vanilla, and the house’s signature, very subtle smokiness. The finish is long-lasting and dry, with the influences of American oak and a hint of residual spice leaving a lasting impression.
