About the Maker: Benriach Whisky
A Speyside single malt as captivating as the Benriach 10 Year Old wouldn't be possible without a rich heritage. The story begins in 1898 when founder John Duff built the Benriach Distillery. Ever since, Benriach has stood out for its unwavering commitment to tradition and its adventurous spirit. They are one of the few remaining distilleries that floor malt their own barley, a process that imbues the spirit with a unique depth of character. Furthermore, Benriach uses 100% malted barley in their whisky production, a testament to their dedication to quality.
Under the watchful eye of Master Blender Rachel Barrie, Benriach embraces innovation. Barrie's expertise and willingness to experiment result in a captivating range of expressions, each showcasing the versatility of Benriach's house style.
