This Benriach 10 year old is a now rare expression from the previous owners - Chivas Bros. Bottled at 43%abv.
Benriach distillery was built in 1898 in the shadow of sister, and better known, distillery Longmorn. It still retains it's own floor maltings, the smallest in Scotland, which produces 8% of the malt required for the distillery. It has an amazing history of survival. Mothballed two years after it opened it remained so till 1965, when it was re-equipped and production restarted, producing a lighter style of malt whisky. After several changes of ownership, and a short period mothballed, the Benriach distillery was acquired in 2004 by an independent consortium.
