The award-winning Benromach Organic Speyside Single Malt Whisky, bottled at 43%, is hand made by just two men at Speyside’s smallest working distillery at Forres, operated by Gordon & MacPhail of Elgin.
The whole process – raw ingredients, production, maturation and bottling – is certified to the rigorous organic standards set by The Soil Association.
