    本诺曼克酒厂成立于1898年,是由Duncan McCallum与威士忌酒商Brickman联合出资建立的。酒厂从成立不久便遭遇了坎坷的命运,首先是还没正式生产就被迫关闭了,1907年当Duncan McCallum设计的蒸馏器在Forres一带的酒厂大力推广的时候,酒厂也重新开张恢复了生产。第一次世界大战期间,受战争的影响,酒厂也停业,直至1939年恢复生产。酒厂在1966年进行了大规模重建,至1983年再在联合酒业集团旗下时又停业关闭。1992年,本诺曼克酒厂被戈登-迈克费尔公司买下,直至1998年,酒厂成立100年之际,才又重新恢复生产。
    本诺曼克(Benromach)是斯贝赛德最小的酿酒厂,这不大的空间里,你看到的、闻到的是麦芽威士忌悠久的历史与香浓。他们一直在酿造10-12PPM标准的单一纯麦威士忌,而且还尝试酿造55PPM的重泥煤味的威士忌。他们也是Soil Association认可的第一家生产有机单一纯麦威士忌的酒厂。这样一个年轻而优秀的威士忌酒厂,一直继承着清爽泥煤风味的威士忌风格。

    On the outskirts of the Royal Burgh and ancient market town of Forres lies Benromach Distillery, the smallest working distillery in Speyside. Here whisky was first made in the final year of the 19th Century.

    Benromach continues to produce its golden spirit for connoisseurs the "world over" to savour and enjoy.

     Founded in 1898, this imposing distillery lay silent and empty for a number of years and suffered many closures and changes in ownership prior to 1993, when malt whisky specialists, Gordon & MacPhail, rescued it. They set about an extensive re-installation programme to bring Benromach back to its former glory. HRH Prince of Wales officially re-opened the distillery in its Centenary year.

     Now you can see the mash tun, the burnished copper stills and the brass spirit safe where the distiller's craft creates the unique qualities of the single malt.

Now in production, Benromach displays all the traditional warm characteristics once so evident in this Speyside distillery.

     During your visit discover the time-honoured skills, which bring together locally grown barley, yeast and the cool, clear water from the nearby Romach Hills, to produce a whisky full of character and distinction and one that remains true to its heritage.

     'Nose' and enjoy a dram of the award-winning Benromach Single Malt in the old Drier House, now our Malt Whisky Centre.
