Benromach
Situated on the outskirts of the ancient town of Flores, the Benromach distillery was founded by the Benromach Distillery Company in 1898.
In 1911 the distillery was acquired by the London based Harvey McNair & Co who continued distilling until the onset of the First World War. Between 1966 and 1974 the distillery was modernized and continued to run until 1983 when the distillery was officially closed. In 1993 Gordon and MacPhail took over the site and in 1997 they started to restore the distillery to a working order. This included two new stills, a new mash tun and washbacks that had been rescued and reworked from the originals. The design of the distillery was changed slightly to allow it to be operated by one man. In 1998 the distillery was officially reopened by the Prince of Wales and bottling of the new malt started in 2004.
