Benromach has
another duo of top awards to celebrate,
recognising Benromach as masters in
whisky.
 Speyside’s
smallest whisky distillery, Benromach
has another duo of top awards to
celebrate.
Two of its Single Malt Scotch Whiskies,
Benromach Peat Smoke and Organic, has
won a gold and silver medal respectively
in the Scotch Whisky Masters 2012
competition.
The Scotch Whisky Masters is said to be
one of the most respected competitions
in the industry, attracting entries from
leading distilleries from around the
world. The awards are decided by
independent, expert judging panels after
an extensive and rigorous blind tasting
process.
David Urquhart, Joint Managing Director
of Gordon & MacPhail, commented: “It’s
wonderful to see Benromach Peat Smoke
and Benromach Organic honoured by such a
prestigious competition. The win is a
true testament to the hard work of the
Benromach Distillery craftsmen. Their
skills and dedication that go into the
making of our whiskies is reflected in
the medals won.”
Benromach Peat Smoke is full bodied,
intense and challenging. It has a smoky
character, yet balanced with the fruity
elegance of Speyside.
Benromach Organic was launched in 2006
as the world's first bottled Single Malt
to be fully certified as organic. The
whole process, including the use of the
raw ingredients, distillation,
maturation and bottling, is certified to
the rigorous standards set by the UK
Soil Association. The whisky is matured
in virgin American oak casks from
environmentally managed forests which
has added a unique robustness and depth
which complements the traditional
Benromach spirit.
The accolade adds to the growing list of
awards for the whiskies from Speyside’s
smallest working distillery and the
increasing success of Benromach across
the UK and internationally. Their
flagship Single Malt Scotch Whisky,
Benromach 10 Years Old was awarded gold
at the 2011 Great Taste Awards and in
November 2011 it gained gold at
TheFiftyBest.com awards in New York.
The distillery, nestled in Speyside,
employs just two men, who hand-craft
Benromach using the finest Scottish
barley and the purest spring water from
the nearby Romach Hills. They fill new
spirit into the highest quality casks
before being left to mature at the
distillery for many years.
