Benriach is a whiskey distillery in Elgin, Scotland, UK.

History

The distillery was built in 1898 by John Duff, had, however, down to the malt house, among other things, Longmorn supplied, in 1900 and became close again until 1965 by Glenlivet Distillers Ltd.. reopened. In 1978 she went to Seagram in 1985 and expanded from two to four stills. Between 1983 and 1996, inter alia, produced unusual peaty whiskey, which was intended for blends, as the former parent company did not have an Islay distillery. A part of that production is now available as a single malt. In 1999, the malting floors were closed after 100 years of continuous production. On 19 December 2001, the distillery went to Pernod Ricard, the only cutting production and the distillery operated only three months a year, until she quietly laid in August 2002. In April 2004, Billy Walker, Geoff Bell and Wayne Keiswetter bought the distillery, which since then is operating normally.
