The BenRiach is situated in the centre of Speyside, Scotland, in rolling barley fields, fed by the Burnside Spring below the distillery. Before the distillery was established in 1898, founder John Duff travelled to Scotland and abroad on his whisky adventures. These adventures and the spirit of the company led to BenRiach's innovative distillation and cask-raising artistry.

BenRiach began producing Malt Whisky in 1898, but two years later encountered one of the toughest periods in the industry: the Pattison Crash. This severe event led to the closure of many distilleries, including unfortunately BenRiach, which would have faced demolition in such dire circumstances, but fortunately BenRiach was supported by its sister distillery, Longmorn, for whom it became the malting plant, and BenRiach survived the crisis.

The Scotch whisky industry was restored to glory in 1965 and BenRiach was able to ride the wave and start producing whisky again. 2004 was the most important moment in BenRiach's history, when the distillery was purchased and became an independent distillery. This also allowed BenRiach to experiment with an interesting variety of cask culture methods and to continue to produce both peated and non-peated malt whiskies.

Through the skill and experience of the master distillers, the specialised methods, the unique shape of the stills and the high quality of the casks in which they are cultivated, BenRiach has come to define itself and to embody the original adventurous spirit of its founder, John Duff.

Since June 2016, Benriach, Glendronach and Glenglassaugh have been part of Brown-Forman Corporation.

Legendary whisky master Billy Walker is extremely experimental, using every kind of barrel you can think of that can legally be used for barrel maturation, even producing heavy peat whisky, triple distilled whisky, and restoring BenRiach's floor mash in 2013, all of which are new and innovative innovations, as well as superb use of casks, which have successfully made the BenRiach brand famous. BenRiach has made a name for itself.

 This is a landmark release for Benriach, the first core expression of the spirit that has largely emerged since its acquisition by Billy Walker and his consortium in 2004. Classic Speyside whisky.
