Distilled in 2014 and bottled in 2024 at 46% ABV, it is made from unpeated barley and matured for nine years in first-fill sherry and bourbon casks. The result is a sweet, fruity Speyside single malt that shows Benromach’s spirit without its usual peat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the distillery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenromach was built in 1898 in Forres, near Elgin, in Speyside.
