Description
History
The Benromach distillery was founded in 1998 in Forres, Scotland, and has experienced various difficulties throughout its history, but enjoyed a rebirth in 1998 when it was acquired by Gordon & Machphail. The distillery produces elegant whiskeys with a light peation, such as those produced in the 1960s in the Speyside region.
Production method
The process begins with the malting of the barley, during which the starches present in the cereal are broken down into simple sugars suitable for alcoholic fermentation. This occurs in three phases: maceration of the barley in water, germination and drying. Subsequently, the barley is ground and added again with hot water, extracting the must which will be fermented and distilled. The final refinement, including the choice of the right wood, is fundamental for the sensations that the distillate will acquire.
