2 THE benromach story The truth of the matter is that Benromach expresses the original, classic character of Speyside: its character exudes a luscious, light touch of smoke. beautifully balanced Before the mid 1960s, all the distilleries in Speyside dried and malted their own barley. Hidden away in remote glens, the distilleries topped up their coal fires with cuts of local peat. It was enough to impart to the region s whisky. of smoke a touch When modern commercial maltings arrived in the swinging sixties, this subtle Speyside smokiness was lost to the world. Three decades later in 1993 our whisky-loving family purchased Benromach Distillery the fulfilment of a four-generation-long ambition to make our own whisky. Over the past century our family, the Urquharts of Gordon & MacPhail, have amassed an astonishing collection of beautiful aged single malt whiskies. It s Scotland s liquid history. And it s kept safely under lock and key in our bonded warehouses in Elgin. We think the old Speysiders from before the 1960s are, frankly, wonderful. So as passionate custodians of this rare character, we felt honour-bound to give the world back this of malt. very special style
