  • PRODUCER:

    The Benriach Distillery

  • REGION:

    Speyside, Scotland

Tasting Notes:

Color: Golden bronze

Nose: Rich maple honey, cocoa, and baked forest fruit

Taste: Maraschino cherry baked orange and hazelnut, with a lingering sultana and spiced mocha finish. This intriguing malt has layers of baked fruit, maple honey sweetness and lingering oak spice.

About the Producer

John Duff duly established Benriach Distillery in 1898 just south of Elgin complete with a siding connecting it directly to the great North of Scotland Railway. But Benriach was forced to close in 1900 and remained closed until 1965 and whilst its traditional floor maltings continued to operate complete with the pagoda roof over the malt kiln it too finally closed in 1999.

Having re-opened in 2004 the Benriach range is now extensive and features age expressions beginning with Benriach 10 years, 16-Year-Old and vintage cask releases running back to the 1970s. The distillery is owned by Brown Forman of America.

A Unique Heritage

The Benriach Distillery was founded in 1898 and although the rough-hewn walls of the warehouses may seem unassuming, they are home to a rare breed of creative expertise in whisky distilling and eclectic cask maturation. Our ingenious and dedicated team spend their days crafting our award-winning Speyside single malts and tirelessly pushing the limits of flavour possibility. We are proud to say we haven’t reached them yet.
