Benromach Traditional Single Malt Scotch Whisky (40%)

Benromach Traditional Single Malt Scotch Whisky (40%)
Launched in March 2004, this is the first whisky distilled after the re-opening of Benromach in 1998 and is the first whisky distilled by Gordon and MacPhail.

Using only the finest peated malted barley and the purest spring water from the nearby Romach hills, Benromach Traditional is hand made by our experienced distillers, before being matured in hand selected oak casks at the distillery.

The pace is a little slower here in the heart of Speyside, we take our time, checking each stage by hand, personally ensuring only the highest quality spirit is filled into oak casks that have been carefully selected by hand.

And it doesn’t stop there. The casks, full of new whisky, are laid down to mature at the distillery where our experienced distillers regularly check them.

Only when it has matured to our high quality standards, do we bottle the whisky and proudly label it – Benromach.
