So it isn't 46%...so what? Benromach 15YO, 43% - Whisky Wednesday

Big lover of Benromach and all the things they do. But I do have a bee in my bonnet about everyone's obsession with 'quality' whiskies being atleast 46% ABV and non-chill filtered. It's as if all whisky MUST have these boxes ticked in order to be judged and reviewed upon by the whisky overlords of YouTube and beyond. But not all whiskies that tick those boxes are objectively good, and that's a fact.

This is an excellent whisky, as is the whole Benromach range. Being owned by Gordon and Macphail, it's doubtful that the family begind G&M are sat in a boardroom, plotting and scheming about how annoyed people will be that there standard range isn't 46% ABV.

On taste alone, Benromach 15YO is an outstanding product, from an excellent distillery and it provides something different from your typical and sometimes, very boring, Speysode whisky portfolio.

Benromach 15. It isn't 46%...but is fucking wonderful.
