Benriach, named for the Gaelic for ‘speckled mountain’, was one of the few distilleries with its own floor maltings, following closure they remained in use, supplying neighbouring Longmorn. The upturn in whisky’s fortunes in the 1960s saw Benriach run from 1965 onwards under new owners The Glenlivet Distillers, before Seagrams purchased the distillery in 1978. In 1985 two extra stills were added bringing the total to four. The floor maltings were in use again and remained so continuously until 1999. When Pernod Ricard took over Seagram’s whisky division in 2001 Benriach was mothballed, but in April of 2004, Benriach was sold, along with several thousand casks, for £5.4million to the South African company, Infra Trading, combining their efforts with Burn Stewart director Billy Walker. They reopened the distillery the following year and soon established the Benriach Distilling Co.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ConciergeUK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42833165516938,"sku":"","price":564.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/23_f2be90ae-9f0e-4c40-bb5a-b211a91f5d81.jpg?v=1678402205","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/en-ca\/products\/benriach-19-year-old-2001-cask-18097-old-malt-cask-hunter-laing-700ml","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
