Benriach 40 Year Old The Forty Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML

As the oldest expression in Benriach`s portfolio, this release draws inspiration from an era when peated malt from Speyside was relatively rare. However, Benriach opted to distil limited quantities of peated spirit, obtaining peat from the Highlands.

Distillery Information

Benriach Distillery was founded in 1898 by John Duff. The Speysider has overcome a chequered history that began with opening just a year before The Pattison crash of 1899 followed by years of dormancy or changing of hands. Following monetary difficulties the distillery was sold to the Longmorn Distilleries Company, who closed it at the turn of the twentieth century. Benriach, named for the Gaelic for ‘speckled mountain’, saw an upturn in fortunes in the 1960s, however, and from 1965 onwards was run by new owners The Glenlivet Distillers. Seagrams purchased the distillery in 1978, then in 1985 two extra stills were added bringing the total to four.
