Benromach 10 Years 100 Proof Single Malt Whisky 57% 700ml (Old Labelling)

The Benromach 10 Year Old ‘100 proof’, matured only in first fill barrels, bottled at 57% and without chill-filtered this whisky displays an initial burst of chilli spice and is mouth warming with hints of liquorice and delicate peat.

Bottled at the old Imperial measure which equals 57% ABV. 100° Proof is an archaic term once used by the British Navy sailors allocated two tots of rum or whisky a day, the sailors grew suspicious that their pay may been watered down and so, engineered a method to tell them of any meddling by adding a little whisky to their gunpowder, if the mixture still flashed, this proved that their pay was 57% alcohol, or above as if there wasn’t a flash, their pay might have been watered down.
