A Speyside single malt Scotch whisky as intriguing as Benriach could not have come to be without a unique whisky making heritage.
Ruggedly beautiful, Benriach stands on the site of the old Riach farm in north Speyside, drawing water from a mineral-rich aquifer, deep beneath the distillery. It was built by founder John Duff in 1898. Benriach heritage is rooted in decades-old craft, ingenuity, and an openness to embracing the unconventional when it comes to whisky-making. Thanks to a long-standing tradition of distilling three styles of whisky – classic unpeated, Highland peated and triple distilled – together with an eclectic selection of casks from around the world, the Master Blender Dr Rachel Barrie has the ingredients to explore the full possibilities of single malt.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Deep bronze
Nose: Richly fruity, with the exquisite scent of sweet orange,
plum and honey pomelo laced with dark chocolate coated berries
layered on smooth walnut and cherry liqueur.
Palate: Luscious orchard fruits unfold on the palate with silky
morello cherry, soft nectarine, stewed red apple and white peach,
lingering into the seductive velvety walnut and kumquat finish.
