A little bit of history about Benriach Single Malt 10 Years...

The BenRiach distillery is located in the heart of the malt whisky region in the north of Scotland, where it displays all the traditional charm of a Speyside distillery. It was founded in 1898 by John Duff, and is one of the few distilleries that has its own malting in the same place where the whiskey is produced, also draws water for this development of the spring of Burnside.

The name of BenRiach is given in two parts: on the one hand, Ben, whose meaning in English means "peak", a more common use in areas of Scotland and Ireland, on the other hand, Riach, which is the name of the farm that was in the place where John Duff founded the distillery.

BenRiach is a hidden jewel of Speyside that is distilled in three different styles: classic non-smoked, Highland smoked and triple distilled, with which layers of different flavors are produced.

In the year 1900 the company closes due to the "Patison Crash", this, together with the First World War, the Dry Law and the Second World War, made that BenRiach did not return to produce whisky until the year 1965.

In 2004 the brand was acquired by the independent consortium led by Billy Walker, these new owners were able to launch a portfolio of both smoked and unsmoked whiskies by August of the same year.

This idyll would last until 2016, when the company was bought by Brown Forman, a US-based spirits company with a 150-year history.
