Benromach Distillery

Benromach creates complexity early through long fermentation and a mixed brewer's/distiller's yeast regime in larch washbacks. Double distillation through a small two-still setup preserves enough weight to carry the cereal and gentle peat character. First-fill bourbon and sherry wood then amplify fruit, malt, spice and smoke without masking the compact Speyside new make.

Benromach deliberately looks back to an older Speyside style, where even elegant malt whisky carried a thread of smoke. Long fermentation, two yeast types and a compact two-still regime give the spirit weight and complexity before it enters first-fill bourbon and sherry casks. The result is a useful bridge between classic fruity Speyside whisky and a more savoury, gently smoky style.
