TURNING 50, I’VE been told, is a good thing. It isn’t the end of youth nor is it time to feel old. In an ideal world, 50 is an age nurtured by joy, difficulties and love. It is an event, an occasion.
It is also a remarkable age for a remarkable whisky like Benromach. The Speyside distillery from Forres, Scotland, just released a rare 50-year-old single malt, bottled in precious hand-blown Glasstorm decanters with exquisite, battuto-style detailing.
Aged exclusively in sherry casks and bottled at an ABV of 54.6 per cent, the whisky promises to deliver a dizzying chain of sensations, reminiscent of a lost Speyside style you won’t find in today’s bottles. Give it a whiff and you’ll get strawberry and lemon sorbet. Add a splash of water and it will release notes of stewed fruits and dates, with a lingering finish of cracked black pepper and whisper of smoke.
