John Duff commissioned the Elgin based architect Charles C. Doig to design Benriach Distillery which was duly established in 1898 just south of Elgin and complete with a siding connecting Benriach Distillery directly to the great North of Scotland Railway and the scotch blenders down south. But Benriach Distillery opened just as the whisky bubble burst and was forced to closed in 1900 and remained closed until 1965. Benriach’s maltings did continued to operate but finally closed in 1999. An iconic Scottish malt whisky distillery complete with a Doig pagoda roof over the malt kiln. The Benriach Distillery range includes limited releases of triple distilled, peated and un-peated single malt whiskies. Benriach Distillery participates in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival

Nose: Some soft oaky notes along with red fruits. Faint dunnage warehouses with raspberries and lychees. With this amazing nose the palate is now expected to deliver an amazing taste.

Palate: Slightly nutty with strong orange oil notes coming through with hints of lime and kiwi fruits. The palate has delivered rather well.

Finish: The finish is superb as expected it's Very creamy with soft spice, orange bitters and strawberries.
