A single cask from 2003 has been selected by the Royal Mile Whiskies team, and we're very excited to have this exclusive bottling from Benromach. The first fill bourbon barrel has been sat for fourteen years, imparting some dry wood, plenty of fruit and a little vanilla into the gently peated spirit. We're big fans of the slightly smokey speyside whisky from Benromach, and the 227 bottles from this cask shine with the same excellent quality and balance of light body, fruity flavour and earthy, smoky undertones.

Official Tasting Notes
Nose: A beautifully breathy and warm wood tinged start followed by sugared almonds, egg-custard tarts, cigarette ash and chocolate shavings. Gentle floral perfume with a deep menthol nature comes through as well. With time it develops with salted caramel and vanilla ice cream. With water there are more dry stone and earthy aromas combined with a rich and rough apple and lemon.
Palate: Strong without water but still manageable. Vanilla, toasted wood and bonfire notes coming through a bit of strawberry chew sweetie at the end and the gentle smoke continues to come through. Water doesnt seem to soften this whisky at all; it stays punchy and woody.

Why you can feel secure shopping with us
When you shop with us, our secure server encrypts all of your personal information, including name, address and credit card information. We use SagePay which are an industry leader in secure internet transactions. SagePay are used by thousands of other UK businesses for transaction security.
Industry leading transaction security
All transaction information passed between our website and the SagePay Payment System is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and all messages from SagePay are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing passed to SagePay can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.
Internationally recognised encryption and data storage
Once on the SagePay system, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data they hold is extremely secure and they are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.
Private network links to banks
SagePay has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.
Employee access
No individuals within our company or SagePay are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Their systems only allow access to our most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your card information is secure even from their own employees because the systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens.
