The Distillery

Benromach Distillery, designed by Charles C. Doig and constructed in 1898 for D. McCallum and F.W. Burickman at Forres in Scotland’s Speyside whisky region, has a rich history marked by multiple closures before its acquisition in 1993 by Gordon & MacPhail. Under their stewardship, Benromach’s single pair of stills were reignited in 1998, ushering in a new era of handcrafted single malt production. Today, the distillery’s striking new labeling and ever-expanding range—featuring popular expressions such as Benromach Organic, Benromach Peat Smoke, and the classic Benromach 10 Year Old—have cemented its status as a rising star in the world of Speyside Scotch whisky, earning acclaim from enthusiasts and collectors alike.
