Carrying multiple gold medals, you can't forget about Benromach 10 Years Old. This Scottish standout is produced in the Benromach distillery in Speyside, established in 1898. The whisky offers a balance of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, featuring flavors such as grain, fruit, toffee, and hints of black cherry. You can get a bottle for about 35 to 40 euros.
