Benromach launches rare 35YO in Asia

Benromach 35 Years Old, which was created in the Forres Distillery before the Urquhart family revived it in 1998, has just been released on the Hong Kong market.

This rare whisky dates back to a time before the Speyside distillery was restored in the 1990s and was created under the watchful eye of Donald MacDonald, the former distillery manager.

Benromach’s current distillery manager, Keith Cruickshank said: “Benromach 35 years old is a very special whisky for everyone at the distillery, as very few casks of Benromach remain from this period of time.

“Benromach today is created respecting the traditional working practices of yesteryear and is lovingly handcrafted by sight, by sound, and by touch, using the finest natural ingredients.

“The 35 years old is the perfect dram to toast the past, present and future of Benromach.”

The whisky is presented in a bespoke decanter-style bottle within a wooden presentation box, which “reflects the various elements which have gone into making the whisky; the copper stills, the dark grained wood of the original washbacks, and the white of the limewashed distillery walls.”

The Benromach 35 Years Old is available at Hong Kong’s City Super stores for HK$14,800.
