Benromach 2003 22 Year Old Small Batch Edition #1

Benromach releases an impressive 22-year-old single malt distilled in 2003, now reaching maturity after two decades in cask. This Small Batch Edition #1 is an exclusive limited release with only 979 bottles produced worldwide. The Speyside distillery has crafted this special batch as a statement release, demonstrating the depth and complexity that emerges from their signature peaty style over extended maturation.

Matured in a combination of first-fill bourbon and sherry casks, this whisky benefits from a balanced influence of both wood types. Bottled at cask strength 56% ABV in 700ml bottles, this release retains full power and character. The mixed cask approach delivers a rich, layered composition that showcases Benromach's trademark peatiness alongside complementary fruitiness and oak complexity.

The nose reveals a sophisticated profile: peaty smoke, tobacco and mature fruit notes including blackcurrant and raspberry, joined by walnuts and citrus pith. On the palate, the thick, oily mouthfeel is classic Benromach—with layers of meaty character, tar, liquorice and aged oak integration. The finish is long and saline, with persistent smoke and oak presence.

This is a release for serious collectors and Benromach enthusiasts seeking a mature, complex single malt with genuine character and genuine scarcity.
