Benromach Distillery of Speyside, Scotland will have a booth (No. 20) at Whisky Festival 2026 in Tokyo (ウイスキーフェスティバル2026 in 東京), held on Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7, 2026. The booth is run by Japan Import System (株式会社ジャパンインポートシステム).

Visitors can also try the Benromach 25 Year Old (ベンロマック 25年), whose long maturation brings rich fruitiness and a deep flavor, ahead of its release in Japan.
The booth offers a chance to enjoy a new side of Benromach and the differences in flavor by age.

About Benromach
In 1993, Benromach Distillery was acquired by Gordon & MacPhail, an independent bottler with a history of more than 130 years. After five years of careful rebuilding, the distillery resumed operations in 1998. It revived the lost Speyside tradition of faintly smoky whisky, and only a few distillers make it by hand, relying on their expertise and senses. Benromach Distillery is a place that carries on tradition, technique, passion, history, and the hopes of the people involved.
