Cask Strength Vintage

Vintage 2013 - Batch 1
Natural Colour | Non-Chill Filtered | Peated | 59.7% vol
First-Fill Sherry and Bourbon Casks
Cask Strength Vintage

Our Cask Strength Vintages are released in small batches and bottled at their natural cask strength, offering bold, concentrated flavours to the whisky.

The Cask Strength Vintage 2013, Batch 01, offers a “direct from the cask” experience transporting you into one of our traditional dunnage warehouses. This release has matured for a decade in exclusively first-fill sherry and bourbon casks, creating stewed fruit aromas, autumnal spices, Seville orange zest, toasted oak, Morello cherry and soft smoke on the finish.

Distilled in 2013 and bottled in 2023 at 59.7% alcohol-by-volume (abv), the colour is light mahogany derived from the finest oak casks.

Benromach cask strength vintage 2013

We fill all our casks on site at Benromach under the watchful eye of our team who consistently check quality and weigh every single cask on traditional Avery weighing scales.

We suggest tasting this Cask Strength Vintage slowly and neat first, then adding water to dilute and enhance the aromas and flavours.

As the Cask Strength Vintages are limited releases, we recommend joining our Friends of Benromach to hear first about any new products.
