Brand Story

A Speyside single malt Scotch whisky as fascinating and exceptional as Benriach would have been unthinkable without a unique whisky heritage dating back to 1898, when founder John Duff established his distillery. Benriach stands on the site of the old Riach farm in the north of Speyside and draws water from a mineral-rich aquifer deep beneath the distillery. Thanks to a long-standing tradition of distilling whisky in three styles - classic unpeated, Highland peated and triple distilled - and an eclectic selection of casks from around the world, our whisky makers are able to explore the full flavor possibilities of single malt and produce some of the richest, most complex whiskies in Speyside.
This tradition continues today under the lea dership of Master Blender, Rachel Barrie. Benriach is the story of a hidden Speyside gem, quietly revealing its treasures to be discovered and enjoyed.
