Benromach Organic

Benromach Organic was first released in 2009 and is the first organic whisky from an operating distillery in the UK. It has been certified organic from the Soil Association, an organic trade body in the UK. The whisky is made using only certified Scottish organic barley, grown in the north east of Scotland. The whisky is created by the traditional method of hand-crafting in small batches. It is matured in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in first-fill sherry casks for added complexity. The whisky is free from the use of artificial additives and colorings, making it a genuinely organic whisky. It has a great balance of sweetness and smoke, with notes of creamy vanilla and a subtle hint of sherried fruit in the background. On the palate it has a well-rounded texture and the finish is pleasantly smooth, with a gentle hint of sweetness. Overall, Benromach Organic is a great tasting whisky that is true to its nature as an organic product. It may not be as heavy as some other Scotch whiskies, but for those who are looking for a smoother whisky with great flavor, it would definitely be an excellent choice.
