About the Distillery:

Benromach Distillery is a small, traditional Speyside distillery located in the town of Forres. Using classic, hands-on production methods — including a manually operated mash tun, slow distillation and a touch of peat in the malt — Benromach creates a subtly smoky, old-style Speyside spirit that stands apart from lighter, modern expressions. The distillery matures its whisky exclusively in first-fill casks, carefully selected to add depth, richness and balance. This combination of small scale, traditional techniques and a first-fill cask policy gives Benromach whiskies their distinctive, characterful and gently smoky profile.
