This bottling of a 21-year-old Benromach as an original bottling of the distillery contains lightly peated whisky, which matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks and was bottled in 2021.
Benromach is a distillery in Forres, Moray, Scotland, which was founded in 1898. After a chequered history with many closures, the distillery was shut down on 24.03.1983 and even partially dismantled. Only ten years later, in 1993, the distillery and the remaining stocks were bought by Gordon & MacPhail. The distillery was renovated and officially reopened by Prince Charles on 15 October 1998.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
