Benromach Red Door Highland Gin 70cl

Benromach Distillery is a famed Scotch producer. The distillery dates back to the end of the nineteenth century and is well known for its red doors, Hence the name Red Door Highland Gin. Red Door Highland Gin is the first gin produced by the distillery in its history. It is a London Dry Gin distilled in a copper pot from a base of grain. They use a gin basket for the botanicals, which include a couple Scottish signatures alongside a fairly traditional heart of coriander, angelica and citrus. And no— the gin itself is neither pink nor red. Only the bottle bears the striking colour.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Classic to the core. Heavy notes of bitter, Seville oranges accompany angelica and piney juniper.

Flavor: Red Door Highland Gin wears the bitter orange boldly. At first— surprise! bitter orange. Juniper comes next with heady, unctuous angelica facets. Despite the heavy-handed juniper, it’s the angelica that steals the show.

Finish: Long and dry with ghostly impressions of licorice and honeysuckle.

About Benromach

Benromach distillery was built in 1898 in Forres, near Elgin.

In 1993 the distillery was acquired by the Urquhart family keen to revive the lost Speyside style using malted barley to give just a whisper of peat smoke. This process goes back over a century when all malting in Speyside would have topped up fires with cuts of peat when supplies of coal ran low, gifting the whiskies a distinct character.

When the distillery was reopened by Prince Charles in 1998, it signalled the rediscovery of a lost style of Speyside single malt.

They believe this subtly smoky character adds depth to the spirit, enhances the complexity and flavour profile of the core range of whiskies.

And provides drinkers with variations on a theme, whiskies presented in the Contrasts range are limited edition, single batch or single cask releases born from the natural instinct to experiment. Each release showcases the result of a new process, barley type or casks to provide whisky enthusiasts with something new to explore.
