Today, More Drams dives into the Benromach distillery with reviews of their 21- and 35-year-old expressions, plus the independent 2013 Benromach bottled as Glen Mosset by Maltbarn. Incredibly, over six years of blogging, I’ve only reviewed one Benromach before. While it’s not a distillery I often purchase or receive samples from, I’ve always admired its old-school style – especially since visiting the distillery in 2019 deepened my appreciation. This session aims to remedy that oversight with two official Benromach releases and a hidden gem: the Glen Mosset 2013 Maltbarn, the code name for Benromach in select bottlings.

I realize it’s the first Benromach I’ll be covering here on More Drams. And that I don’t even own a bottle of Benromach even though they produce some very good whisky. I visited the Gordon & Macphail-owned distillery back in 2019 during Spirit of Speyside festival. It was the closest distillery from where I was staying, as I had rented a house with friends in Forres for our stay for Spirit of Speyside. I remember having a very good time at the distillery. I regret we were not allowed to take pictures inside for safety reasons. I remember they did everything by hand, at the opposite of some other distilleries I’ve visited where everything was computer-controlled. And that even though our days were filled with whisky already, the bottle of Benromach 10 at our disposal in the rented house took quite a hit during our stay! We’ll come back at some point for a core range review, but not today. Today, we introduce this distillery with this Benromach 2011 Single Cask selected and bottled for LMDW.
