The small Speyside distillery of Benromach have announced a limited edition and old whisky to add to their Vintage series - the 1974 Vintage. The whisky comes from a single ex-sherry butt (Cask #1583) that has yielded just 452 bottles at a cask strength of 49.1% ABV. The cask is one of the few remaining from before current owners Gordon & MacPhail took control in the 1990s. The whisky is presented in a decanter and dark wooden casket, both decorated with copper detail. A bottle will cost £1200 and will be available in selected international markets shortly. Please visit www.benromach.com for more details.
“The 1974 Vintage is incredibly rare, as very few casks of Benromach remain from that time. For all of us at the distillery, this is a moment to be treasured. This is a whisky for those who take their whisky seriously and want the chance to try something which is particularly special because of its rarity.”
Keith Cruickshank - Distillery Manager at Benromach.
