Benromach Peat Smoke has a seriously smoky character (peating level of 35-PPM). It is complex, intense & challenging
- yet balanced with the fruity elegance of Speyside. 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. Benromach Distillery welcomes visitors into the Benromach Distillery visitor centre, offers distillery tours & is a participant in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival. A sweet smokiness nose comes to the fore. A pleasant cigar like note is present. Fresh with hints of green apples
- Granny Smith. Palate: Subtle phenolic flavour with a heavy sweet peat smoke influence.
