For discerning individuals

It’s not often a long kept secret is revealed in the world of Single Malt Scotch Whisky – but here is a true discovery! Since 1898, the BenRiach distillery has very quietly been producing quality Single Malt Scotch Whisky, which has only ever been enjoyed in very small quantities, by a few discerning individuals who have been fortunate enough to come by a bottle.

In April of 2004 the distillery, which was previously under the ownership of Chivas Brothers, was acquired by 3 entrepreneurs, led by Scotch Whisky industry veteran Billy Walker, and The BenRiach Distillery Company was born.

Now BenRiach, located in the 'Heart of Speyside' just south of Elgin, is once again producing its very special Single Malt Whiskies...as an independent distiller.

Creating A Special Malt

What's new at BenRiach?

We've recently updated a number of items on the web-site, and these are worth further exploration.

First up is the imminent launch of our fourth batch of single cask bottlings (BenRiach 'Limited Release'), which will be available towards the end of August 2007. In all there are 7 vintages, ranging from 1975 through to 1994, each individually numbered by hand, and bottled at cask strength, natural colour and non chill filtered. For more infomation see the relevant article in 'Company News'.

Secondly, we recenly launched 3 new BenRiach single malt expressions; Heredotus Fumosus, Importanticus Fumosus and Arumaticus Fumosus. Each malt is aged 12 years old, distilled from heavily peated malted barley, and finished in either Pedro Ximinez Sherry butts (Heredotus), Aged Tawny Port hogsheads (Importanticus) or Dark Rum barrels (Arumaticus). For more details see the news article.

These are the latest in a number of new BenRiach expressions that have been brought to the market in the last 12 months, following the release of the BenRiach 25 years old and 30 years old in June 2006, four 15YO wood finishes in November 2006, and the super premium and extremely limited 40 years old (the oldest BenRiach in existence) in January 2007.

Additionally, we've compiled a list of all whisky fairs, tastings and exhibitions we will be particpating in during the 2nd half of 2007, starting with Royal Mile Whiskies' 'Whisky Fringe' in Edinburgh in August, and quickly followed by the Copenicker Whisky Herbst in Berlin, the Stockholm Beer and Whisky Festival and Whisky Live Paris during September. For full details check out 'NEW - On Tour 2007'. There's a strong likelihood that we will be adding some more dates and events to this list, so keep your eyes peeled for something in your area.

Finally, the awards and reviews continue to pour in, why not check out how we fared recently in the International Wine & Spirits Competition 2007 and the Malt Maniacs Awards 2006?
