Crafted Heritage and Distinct Character
Founded in 1898 by John Duff, Benriach Distillery stands proudly on the site of the old Riach farm in North Speyside. It draws crystal-clear water from a deep, mineral-rich aquifer beneath the distillery. This heritage, combined with a commitment to craftsmanship, shapes the whisky’s unique personality. The 23 Year Old Cask Edition showcases Benriach’s mastery of three distilling styles—classic unpeated, Highland peated, and triple distilled—offering an exploration of Speyside’s full flavour spectrum.
