- Batch 1 Golden Promise the first batch release in the series is produced using Golden Promise barley grown in the heart of Speyside. Matured in first & second fill sherry casks. Benromach Benromach Distillery was designed by Charles C. Diog & constructed at Forres in 1898 & was due to commence production in 1899. But demand for scotch collapsed when the principle purchaser of Benromach’s malt whisky Pattison‘s of Leith went bankrupt & Benromach Distillery sat silent as the next decade rolled by. Intermittent production followed until major investment & refurbishment in the 1960s & 1970s turned Benromach into a thoroughly modern Speyside malt whisky distillery, only to close again in 1983. Ten years later it was purchased by the independent bottler Gordon & Mac Phail who fired up its single pair of stills in 1998 & nurtured Benromach ever since.
