embossed and gold foiled label and comes presented in a black stained solid oak

Commenting on the news, Keith Cruickshank, Distillery
Manager at Benromach, said: “This is the first time we have added a higher aged
expression into our portfolio as an annual batch release. Each batch will be
bottled at natural strength and will reflect the nuance and character of the
casks selected for bottling each year. Our first Benromach 40 Years Old
displays rich ginger and stewed fruit aromas, Seville orange, red apple and
demerara sugar flavours before finishing with citrus zest and a subtle hint of
charred oak. It truly is something special.”
