BENROMACH 17 YO Helps to Raise money for Charities
Sales of the limited edition centenary
bottling of Benromach have been working to help a special
charity close to HRH the Prince of Wales' heart - THE PHOENIX
TRUST. As President of the charity he was delighted to
hear that each bottle sold would help raise money for this
charity. The charity works on restoring and regenerating
old buildings and the countryside. To date £2160
has been raised.
Recently a personally signed bottle was
donated to The MacMillan Hospice in Moray Campaign who will
use it, at an auction. We certainly hope the fact that the
combined uniqueness of the product along with the HRH signature
will draw collectors in to help raise as much money as possible
for the appeal.
The Benromach 17yo single malt commemorating
the Centenary year and the re-opening of the Distillery won
the Drinks section at the Food from Scotland Excellence Award
at the 1999 Royal Highland Show.
David Urquhart, UK Sales Director receives
the medal on behalf of Gordon & MacPhail, from Clive
Beddall, Editor of ‘The Grocer’ magazine, at
the recent Food from Scotland gala dinner.
It also won second prize at the Grampian
Food Forum Innovation Award [in the over 25 employees category]
Silver Medals were awarded for Benromach
15yo Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky at the International
Wine & Spirit Competition and for the Benromach 1974
vintage at the International Spirit Challenge. |
