  1. Schreiraupe scored this whisky 89 points Expert Senior

    Coming up: Benromach 21y & Benromach 15y.
    How does the new 21er compare to the delicious 15er. Is double the price justified ...
    • Nose
      89 89
      Benromach 21y:
      Very diacetyl-heavy, buttery caramel, walnut, orange oil, sweet sherry aromas, dry oak spice, cinnamon, marzipan, baked apple, milk chocolate, a nuance of smoke

      Benromach 15y:
      Vegetable, hay, cornflowers, thyme, the sherry aromas are weaker than those of the 21st, fresh oak, light smoke, mineral, cocoa
    • Taste
      89 89
      Benromach 21y:
      sweet wood spice, buttery bitter orange, milk coffee, dried cranberries, beautifully woven light smokiness, sweet and spicy sherry

      Benromach 15y:
      Sour cherries, softwood, cinnamon, medium smoky note, apples, nice bourbon sherry mix
    • Finish
      88 88
      Benromach 21y:
      bittersweet, slightly furry, sour sherry note, medium length

      Benromach 15y:
      sweet campfire smoke, tobacco, milk coffee, long and pleasant

      Conclusion :
      2 very different whiskys, both nevertheless with the typical distillery character.
      The 21er has the larger proportion of sherry and is deeper, more elegant and hardly smoky. The 15er is wilder, more vegetal and scores with the finish.
      21er 89 P / 15er 88 P
      I think the price of the 21 is justified because it is a lot more elegant.
