BENROMACH CHAMPIONS 2026
We're delighted to announce that three new Benromach Champions for 2026 have now been chosen.
The 2026 Champions will visit Benromach in October for a whisky experience like no other; working alongside our team of expert distillers to get hands on in the distillery. As part of their trip, they will also select a cask for the exclusive 2027 Friends of Benromach edition.
To find out more about our new Champions - Geoff, Rye and Maksymilian - please scroll to hear what they had to say about Benromach.
“The team and I are looking forward to meeting the 2026 Benromach Champions. It's a fantastic opportunity for our Friends of Benromach to see firsthand what we do and to get hands-on at our distillery themselves!”

RYE
From London
"Visiting Benromach, is like visiting your childhood friend's house for the day - you'll be met with kindness, generosity, and a full cup.
I was still a student when I bought myself a Benromach Organic. I've been a fan ever since, and still have the (very rudimentary) tasting notes!
Trying the Dramfest 2025 exclusive Benromach was very special, but sharing it with new found family in Australia was even more special."

Maksymilian
From Illinois
"The first Benromach I tried was Polish Oak Cask No. 768. As someone who grew up in Poland, that bottling immediately caught my attention, and it ended up becoming my favorite Benromach expression for a very long time. I’ve shared that bottle with countless friends and whisky enthusiasts over the years because it tells both a personal story and showcases what makes Benromach special.
Distillery Exclusive Cask 256 is my favourite Benromach. I bought it during my first visit to the distillery on my wife’s first trip to Scotland, and every time I pour a dram, its warm, earthy character takes me back to those cool March days in Speyside and the memories we made together."
