W. Brickmann\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; got together in \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;1898 \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and founded \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Benromach Distillery Company \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;with some damn unfortunate timing. Scotch Whisky was having a bit of a crisis and the pair went broke shortly after opening their doors in 1900. Ever since, the distillery has closed and re-opened several times as it changed ownership, faced world wars, and tried to modernize. In \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;1993\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;, they were purchased by \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Gordon and MacPhail \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;— an independent bottler that was turning their cash-flow into production ownership, and notable single malts. The label was successfully relaunched once again, with an official ribbon-cutting by none other than \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Prince Charles \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;in \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;2004\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Cut to 2014, when the first single malt was released and brought with it the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;accolades and awards\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; — including a \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“Best Speyside Single Malt — 12 Years and Under”\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; at the World Whisky Awards in 2014. For that feat they had to beat Glenlivet, Macallan, Balvenie… as well as Glenfiddich, Glenfarclas, and Aberlour… There are no less than \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;42 \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;Speyside single malt brands out there and this little gem emerged as \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;#1\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. How’s that for a revival?\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;For the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;2009 edition of their Peat Smoke \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;they upgraded the trademark Speyside single malt fruitiness with some \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;serious smoke\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;. It’s a small batch affair, as are most bottles coming from the decidedly low-volume distillery. This edition has \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;a tad less peat smoke\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; than its predecessor with phenol levels clocking in at \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;42ppm\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; (parts per million — for the smoke geeks out there). Oh, and we nearly forgot! It’s matured in first fill oak bourbon barrels. \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Yes, please!\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45132216172726,"sku":"39427","price":16.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/benromach2009peatsmoke-700ml_39427_01_9de0d934_c592a862-ebb2-47db-8644-45ee52f385fa.jpg?v=1779123132","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/benromach2009peatsmoke-700ml-39427","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
