My visit to Benromach Distillery in November 2011 - not a busy time of year for them, so a 1:1 tour and a few good samples afterwards - good value for the basic tour! Some great pictures of the exterior on a beautiful winter's day. Another 1:1 tour on my visit in November 2012 - on foot due to theft of bike the previous night! Hat trick of November visits in 2013. Capacity at the distillery was increased to 750,000 litres in 2014.

Vital Stats
Benromach has a distinctive tall red chimney visible for miles around. The distillery had been closed for 9 years when Gordon & MacPhail took the plunge into distillery ownership, buying it from Diageo predecessors UDV, and it took a further 6 years to get it back into production.
