About Benromach
Benromach distillery was built in 1898 in Forres, near Elgin.
In 1993 the distillery was acquired by the Urquhart family keen to revive the lost Speyside style using malted barley to give just a whisper of peat smoke. This process goes back over a century when all malting in Speyside would have topped up fires with cuts of peat when supplies of coal ran low, gifting the whiskies a distinct character.
When the distillery was reopened by Prince Charles in 1998, it signalled the rediscovery of a lost style of Speyside single malt.
They believe this subtly smoky character adds depth to the spirit, enhances the complexity and flavour profile of the core range of whiskies.
And provides drinkers with variations on a theme, whiskies presented in the Contrasts range are limited edition, single batch or single cask releases born from the natural instinct to experiment. Each release showcases the result of a new process, barley type or casks to provide whisky enthusiasts with something new to explore.
