Benriach owes its creation to an exceptional heritage dating back to 1898, when founder John Duff built the distillery. Built on the grounds of the former Riach farm in northern Speyside, the Benriach distillery draws its water from a mineral-rich spring gushing up from deep underground. A long tradition of distilling classic unpeated, intensely peated and triple-distilled whiskies, as well as a vast choice of casks from around the world, has given the whisky makers the freedom to explore the richness and multitude of single malt flavours, and to craft some of the most complex whiskies in Speyside. This tradition is carried on today by master distiller Rachel Barrie.
