Benromach Distillery is one of Forres's most worthwhile stops, especially if you want a Speyside whisky visit without the scale and polish of the larger names. The distillery is close to the railway station and produces a lightly peated style that gives the tasting room more character than a generic dram.
Tours explain malting, mashing, fermentation, distillation, and cask ageing in a compact site where the process is easy to follow. Reserve ahead in busy months, and remember that Scottish drink-driving rules make walking, taxis, or trains the sensible way to build it into the day.
