BenRiach Distillery is a Single Malt distillery in the Speyside region of Scotland . Like many distilleries, BenRiach has a complex and difficult history. It was built in 1898 on the same site as the Longmorn Distillery, drawing underground spring water from the Burnside under the property, but was only operational two years before the whiskey industry crashed. The distillery remained closed until 1965, although the malting remained in operation to supply Longmorn who distilled continuously throughout this period. BenRiach was reopened by Glenlivet Distillers, and after a major renovation, production of peated Malt began in 1972, for use in a blend. The first whiskey under the BenRiach brand was released in 1994. After ownership passed to Seagram and then Pernod Ricard, the distillery was mothballed in 2002, before being reopened in 2004 by an independent consortium. Brown-Forman acquired BenRiach along with its partner brands Glendronach and Glengassaugh in 2016. They inherited an impressive inventory of casks dating back to 1965. BenRiach produces both peated and unpeated styles.
BenRiach Cask Edition was distilled by Master Blender Rachel Barrie on May 10, 2007 . It was aged for 12 years in an Olorosso Sherry cask (barrel No. 3242). 499 bottles were produced.
