BenRiach Distillery, founded in 1898 by John Duff on the old Riach farm near Elgin in Speyside, is known for its inventive approach to whisky-making, producing characterful unpeated single malts using mineral-rich aquifer water and a wide variety of casks, including bourbon, sherry, wine and virgin oak. After periods of closure and revival, the distillery has become celebrated for its gentle Speyside fruitiness, layers of honeyed and orchard-fruit character, and its commitment to innovative cask maturation, all supported by the continued use of traditional floor maltings and an enduringly experimental spirit.
