On the outskirts of the Royal Burgh and ancient market town of Forres lies Benromach Distillery, the smallest working distillery in Speyside. Here whisky was first made in the final year of the 19th Century.

Founded in 1898, this imposing distillery lay silent and empty for a number of years and suffered many closures and changes in ownership prior to 1993, when malt whisky specialists, Gordon & MacPhail, rescued it. They set about an extensive re-installation programme to bring Benromach back to its former glory. HRH Prince of Wales officially re-opened the distillery in its Centenary year.

Now you can see the mash tun, the burnished copper stills and the brass spirit safe where the distiller's craft creates the unique qualities of the single malt.

Now in production, Benromach displays all the traditional warm characteristics once so evident in this Speyside distillery.
