Founded by John Duff in 1898, the distillery draws its character not only from its time-honoured methods but also from the very land it occupies. Unlike many distilleries, Benriach holds fast to the time-honoured tradition of floor malting its own barley. Furthermore, Benriach is one of only a handful of distilleries in Scotland that continues to produce whisky solely from 100% malted barley. This unwavering commitment to heritage and quality shines through in every bottle of Benriach, making it a true Speyside gem. Under the watchful eye of Master Blender Rachel Barrie, Benriach continues to push boundaries while respecting its traditions. Barrie’s innovative spirit and dedication to excellence have garnered Benriach numerous accolades, solidifying its position as a leading light in the world of single malt Scotch whisky. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just starting your whisky journey, Benriach offers a captivating selection of expressions, each one waiting to be discovered. About the Distillery: The Benriach Distillery The Benriach Distillery draws inspiration from the Speyside’s natural beauty. The distillery’s commitment to using 100% malted barley and sourcing water from the mineral-rich Burnside Springs forms the foundation of its exceptional whiskies. The use of traditional techniques combined with a modern approach to cask maturation has allowed Benriach to create a portfolio of single malts that are both complex and approachable. The distillery’s focus on individual cask bottlings highlights the unique character of each expression. By selecting only the finest casks, Benriach delivers whiskies that are a true representation of the distillery’s craftsmanship and the artistry of time. Within the distillery walls, the team at Benriach carries the torch of tradition. The most distinctive feature, of course, is the dedication to floor malting. This traditional method, while more labor-intensive, allows the skilled maltsters to coax out the barley’s full potential, imbuing the spirit with a distinctive depth and richness. Beyond the malting floor, the distillery boasts a diverse range of cask types, from classic bourbon barrels to new charred oak casks. Each vessel imparts its own unique touch, playing a vital role in shaping the final character of each Benriach expression. With its dedication to preserving heritage while embracing innovation, the Benriach Distillery continues to produce exceptional single malts that captivate whisky lovers around the world.
