Personally I much prefer the rebrand. Looks really clean and professional.
For me, the opposite. I don't mind it, but find it a little clinical and boring.
@@NoNonsenseWhisky I totally agree. The previous labeling was very artistic and gave a feeling of higher end quality. This new label looks like something from the old days and very boring.
2012 Batch 1 is THE ONE. Delicious whisky.
Love the Benromach as well and it really is about the experience! Thanks for the interesting reviews
Really enjoyed that night, great drams. Weirdly just got a post on twitter ref this bottle mmmh #bigbrotherwatching lol
Hahaha privacy is a thing of the past mate!
Wow! That sounded so good. Thanks for shaing and I need to seek this out. Cheers!
I love that stuff and most things from Benromach!
I certainly need to explore their range a little more!
I have now had the Benromach 2009 vintage open for a few months.(batch 4, 57.2% abv)
It is one of my favourites and shows many different sides when you add some water. I can do more than an hour with a dram of this on an evening. Truly a great whisky.
Beautifully described Vin!
Hi Vin
I’m glad to see how much u enjoy Benromach Whisky
This is my favourite distillery.
Great Review . Cheers
This is a bloody great bottle! Cheers, Vin! 🥃
Really tasty stuff! Coming to Whisky Out very soon I reckon 🤣
Hi Vin, yes the CS vintage bottles are pretty amazing aren’t they. Both the 2009 and 2010 versions are awesome. The contrast range are well worth trying, especially the peat smoke versions. Good video Vin enjoyed watching it. Slàinte
If this has taught me anything, it's not to overlook Benromach
At last getting to Benromach🙂 I really like this distillery, they have lots of great bottlings. I hope you will do more. The origins series is amazing. I actually bought this one at a whisky festival right after tasting it. It is so good.
I don't really care about the branding. Sure the older edition looked better, but when the whisky is this good, I don't care.
Vin, glad you did this review. My bottle is 58.8%. Slowly working my way through this bottle, it's amazing stuff and highly recommended. I would say a hidden gem and about the same price range in HK. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
I'm very impressed with it and will definitely be trying future release
Benromach rules! I picked up the Peated Sherry and its magic! Tasted the 21 and 10 year too - both decent drams but the 46% ABV and CS rules for sure!
Benromach C.S. 2012 i dont teasted but 15 y.o i like , wery good whsky .Cheers Vin !
I still need to dig into the core range. Maybe we'll see what this year brings!
@@NoNonsenseWhisky agree )
Thanks for the review Vin. I’ve enjoyed the core 10 & 15 & am eager to get the CS. I recently picked up an 11 year Benromach Single Cask @ 58.7% that I’m also eager to sample. Cheers.
Single cask Benromach is something I still need to try 🤤
I ordered a bottle of this exact bottle based on this review. Thanks.
Please do report back! I don't think you'll be disappointed
@@NoNonsenseWhisky Will do, but it won't be for a while, I'm on a very strict diet until April, which means no alcohol until then.
Batch 3 is already out, at least here in the EU. One of the best and for such a great price.
Somehow I missed batch 2 and 3! Must be for other markets, but stunning whisky nonetheless
Vin, I'm enjoying their 2009, Batch 04 CS abs like this whiter/lighter label compared to the older, darker label. But whichever label, the scotch is GREAT!!
That's the big thing isn't it, liquid first, marketing 2nd!
Good rant Vin. The important information needs to be on the box/tube and the bottle label.
It's a constant issue, and one I wish the SWA would step in on
Hi Vin, that was quick, thanks for the review, much appreciated. I like the new design, the old one looked like organic / artisan wine to me - nothing wrong with organic wine, but it didn't work for me as a whisky. I recently took part in an online tasting with a number of their releases - the 10 CS is by far the best in my opinion. Amazing whisky, and affordable! Will definitely replace my bottle when gone. Interestingly there is now a 2012 batch 3 with a different ABV, but I haven't seen batch 2 - perhaps for a different market?
I think you might be right, it's often the case that a different market will just straight up get a whole batch. Probably for the best. I hadn't even seen a batch 3 release!
@@NoNonsenseWhisky Just appeared at the WhiskyExchange and a few shops in the EU.
Not got round to exploring Benromach yet. The triple-distilled edition sounds interesting. I thought it was a new release, but I have seen reviews of it from when it had the swirly branding.
I'm only familiar with the new branding. I'm afraid to say it puts me off because the bright red and white makes me think it's going to taste like cheap candied cinnamon. I have no idea why!
This is often the gamble with a rebrand. Hopefully you can give them a go at some point
I could buy only here in Holland the 59,6 % did you tasted it?
I liked the artisanal wine design and just hate the rebrand as it screams Cold War at me BUT it’s the juice that really matters. What I haven’t gotten from the non-CS Benromach is the “Springbank of Speyside” I keep hearing in the Whiskyverse so maybe the funkier side comes out only with cask strength?
I really like this but the springbank comparison is a bit much I think. I don't get so much funk from it. Classic, but just great quality
@@NoNonsenseWhisky Agree, for me Benromach is closer to Ledaig than Springbank in terms of style.
wonderful whisky, but have you tried the 2010 batch 1 cask strength? I'd say it's a bit more rich than this one.
Quick question Vin - do you drink your cask strength whisky with water or without. Strongly considering picking this up after I fell in love with the 15 - and then had the Laphroaig CS blow my mind... i found the Laphroaig really came into its own with quite a bit of water (maybe 4 squirts) and im confused by alot of reviewers looking at CS whisky and never adding water - is it a bottle by bottle thing - or just mere preference?
On a personal level, I basically never add water to whisky, which is why I never do it on screen. That said, if I don't enjoy a high abv (rare) I will experiment with a drop or two but it almost never happens
@@NoNonsenseWhisky cheers for the info.
How does anyone who's had the Benromach Cask Strength 2012 59.6% batch 3 compare to this batch 1 ?....................cheers!
Rebranding doesnt do it for me....I have the old bottle box here & it just oozes class....used to stand out on the shelf from everything else too. Nothing else had that style. Love the Whisky hate the rebranding....its now a nothing & doesn't stand out on the shelf. Inoffensive to the point of boring. All a bit sad really. This is what happens when marketing get their way.....like the whisky its all just a matter of taste. Thanks for a great informative review. Cheers Pete from New Zealand
Yeah I agree. I don't hate it, but it is super boring
I am superstitious, I won't go near anything red on white . ( blood on sheets ) shame because it sounds great 😔
I don't know much about superstition, but it's a shame, you're missing out!
I have the same bottle, just haven't cracked it open yet. Based on your review, I need to put that right sooner rather than later 👍
Definitely give it a pop! 🥃🥃
