Benromach is a small, traditional old school Highland style distillery in Speyside. Founded in 1898, Benromach distillery changed hands several times before being acquired by Diageo forerunner DCL in 1953. DCL mothballed Benromach in 1983 and sold the distillery a decade later to independent bottlers Gordon & MacPhail. DCL had removed much of Benromach’s equipment and the distillery needed five years of renovation before production restarted in 1998.

Gordon & MacPhail commenced bottling official Benromach whiskies in the mid-1990s, the best of which was a 1974 vintage bottled in 1997, the year before Diageo issued an excellent 1978 Rare Malts edition from retained stock. Gordon & MacPhail relaunched Benromach in 2004 with Benromach Traditional and now bottle a core range alongside old vintages and innovative editions including Benromach Organic and some peated Benromach whiskies. Independent Benromach is vanishingly rare now, although Samaroli, Cadenhead’s and the SMWS have all bottled excellent old vintages in the past.

In 1842 George Duncan established a wine merchant and distillery agency business in Aberdeen. Duncan was joined in the early 1850s by his brother-in-law William Cadenhead, who took over the business after Duncan’s death in 1858, changing the company’s name to Wm. Cadenhead. When Cadenhead died in 1904 the company passed to his nephew Robert Duthie, who developed the spirits side of the business.

Duthie died suddenly in 1931, and employee Ann Oliver was put in charge of Cadenhead’s. Sadly, Oliver’s tenure ended in financial difficulty and on her retirement in 1972 the business was forced to sell its entire inventory. Cadenhead’s was acquired soon afterwards by J & A Mitchell, proprietors of Springbank distillery, who relocated the business to Campbeltown. Cadenhead’s has flourished under Mitchell’s stewardship, releasing many legendary single malt bottlings in the 1980s and 1990s and now has outlets in Edinburgh and London as well as Campbeltown.

DISCLAIMER

Although a condition report is normally included in the Lot description, we do recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please use the form below "Ask A Question" to make specific enquiries or to receive a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise, Lots will be sold as seen and described.

Please note: due to the various ages of bottles, corks and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion. And no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.All bottles are checked by our whisky specialists Wayne & Harrison Ormerod prior to any auction. We do not auction opened bottles so therefore all items are sealed unless stated under certain circumstances where seals were never issued by the producer.

No item is deemed new, however many items are generally in good condition. When this is not the case, we aim to mention any faults in the description. The images supplied are of the actual item you will receive. If the filling level of the liquid is not visible in the images provided, we aim to indicate the current position in the description. If the filling level is impossible to determine, such as with ceramics decanters, we will provide an overall weight of the decanter in KG. Our filling level guideline can be found here.

All information in this listing is provided to the best of our knowledge including when we chose to date the age of a bottle. If you are unhappy with the listing or believe there is an error/discrepancy, you should notify us immediately and we will address the Lot accordingly.
