From a small and almost lost distillery emerged a single malt withdistinctive qualities reflecting its hand made credentials as well as encapsulating the self-reliance, sophistication and modern values of Scotland today.Established in 1898, the distillery experienced many closures and changes in ownership prior to 1993, when malt whisky specialists, Gordon & MacPhail rescued it. Following an extensive reinstallation project, embracing the distillery’s original character, Benromach was officially re-opened by HRH The Prince of Wales in 1998.Just two experienced distillers create Benromach using the finest Scottish barley and the purest spring water from the nearby Romach Hills. They personally ensure that only the highest quality spirit is filled into sturdy oak casks before being left to mature at Benromach Distillery for many years. « less

A great tour with very a knowledgeable guide. As I was staying in Forres it meant I could walk here and fully appreciate a couple of samples. Was very impressed with the tour and the visitor centre

I've been loads of distillery tours and quite often these are corporate affairs with everything set in stone and the same props throughout. Benromach being a small independent distillery was different and unique. A warm welcome and relaxed atmosphere whilst we waited for the next tour and our guide Sandy was knowledgeable and passionate about his whisky. Benromach being a... More

A 1 hour guide through the small distillery, that started with 10 min brieff history on dvd and then the real tour. The whole distillery is operated by only two persons and all making of the spirit is made manual. No coffe shop but a good choise of diffrent bottlings available at the shop. Well worth a visit to see... More

Our hotel host in Nairn recommended this tour to us and we were not disappointed. We arrived without notice at 9:30 am and were given a personal 1.5 hour tour by a terrific young university student (studying distilling and brewing!). The tour included every aspect of the operation and was very informative. We were never rushed and were able to... More
