The Spey Valley, in which the Benriach distillery was built in 1898, is home to many of Scotland’s great whiskies, but the Benriach has its own uniqueness – borne from the particular methods and skills of the BenRiach men who craft the whisky, the ingredients they use, the distinctive copper stills and high quality barrels selected for maturation.
And, Benriach boasts one further special difference – standing apart from the other Spey Valley distilleries, the traditional floor maltings. Indeed there was even a period of time when the distillery was closed but continued to provide malting to the nearby Longmorn distillery.
