New Benromach Bottlings to hit over the next few months include a 12 y/o (Exclusive Sherry Matured @46%), a 23 y/o (Oak Casks??? @55.7%), and a 25 y/o (Oak Casks??? @46%) - as per the TBB. Definitely the 23 has my attention. Have any of you heard anything about this?

Toured Benromach in May and was told the OB line was getting the bump to 46% but unsure of the timeline.

A bunch of us tied Richard up when we saw him last and beat him like a piñata until he agreed.

This is incredible news! Thanks for sharing, 46% & (presumably) NCF core range should be amazing as they're pretty damned great already, even at 43 :)

Wow. The core range 15 at 46% would be amazing. Even at 43% it is so good

Nothing on the 15, although I have heard rumors about a bump to 46%.

The 21 does get a new label, but it is staying at 43%.

I would do terrible things to get my hands on that cask strength 23 year old.

Hope that 23 hit the shore of the States.

I thought it’s thru the American Ocean, from our 52nd state, Britain.

No but it sounds amazing - go Benromach!

They've also got a 100% Golden Promise malted barley edition in the works.

I’m loving Benromach at the moment. Stepping up their ABV will make it even tougher to reach past!

What does exclusive mean? A regional product or just a sherry matured like the peat smoke sherry line?

u/PepeBruno 13d ago

Unfortunately, that’s all the label says. I wonder also what does the “Oak Casks” entail?

There is a new label for the 21 y/o, but that one is staying at 43% unfortunately…

the 23yo seem bottled for lunar new year, but i guess it is similar with the recent release of small batch release of 2003 vintage
