Benromach Chateau Cissac Finish Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Volume: 700ml     ABV: 45%     Age: No  Age Statement     Country: Scotland

It was always the ambition of John Urquhart and subsequent generations of the Urquhart family that one day Gordon & MacPhail would own and manage a distillery of its own. This dream became a reality in 1993 when the company purchased Benromach Distillery in Forres. At the time the distillery was virtually derelict, all the fixtures and fittings had been ripped out and sold by the previous owners. Drawing upon generations of expertise in the whisky industry, Benromach was carefully and painstakingly re-equipped ready to recommence operation before it was officially reopened by HRH Prince Charles in 1998. Benromach single malt is created using the finest Scottish barley and the purest spring water from the nearby Romach Hills. The distilling team personally ensure that only the highest quality spirit is filled into sturdy oak casks before being left to mature at Benromach Distillery for many years.

This beautiful Benromach Wood Finish is matured in First Fill Bourbon casks and is finished for 25 months in hand-selected casks from the illustrious Château Cissac within the Appellation Haut-Médoc Contrôlée in South-western France. A limited release of 4200 bottles of Benromach Château Cissac will be available worldwide
