A Speyside single malt Scotch whisky as intriguing and extraordinary as Benriach could not have come to be without a unique whisky making heritage, dating from 1898, when founder John Duff built his distillery. Ruggedly beautiful, Benrich stands on the site of the old Riach farm in north Speyside, drawing water from a mineral-rich aquifer, deep beaneath the distillery. Thanks to a long-standing tradition of distilling three styles of whisky; classic unpeated, Highland peated and triple distilled, together with an eclectic selection of casks from around the world, our whisky makers are able to explore the full flavour possibilities of single malt, creating some of the richest, most multi-layered whiskies in Speyside. This tradition continues today, under the guidance of Master Blender, Rachel Barrie. Benrich is the story of a hidden Speyside gem; quietly revealing its treasures to be discovered and savoured. Sherry Cask | Bourbon Cask | Port Cask To make Benriach The Twelve, Benriach spirit is three casks matured for at least twelve years in sherry casks, bourbon barrels and port casks. The whisky from each cask is then expertly married together to create a smooth, sherry-rich single malt, layered with baked fruit, maple honey and cocoa, perfectly balanced with a lingering sultana and spiced mocha finish. COLOUR: golden bronze NOSE: rich maply honey, cocoa and baked forest fruit PALATE: maraschino cherry, baked orange and hazelnut, with a lingering sultana and spiced mocha finish Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

The perfumed nose reveals a bright tropical fruit and floral profile, which continues onto the palate. Full-bodied and concentrated, with layers of baked apple, raisin, honey, and sandalwood. Beautifully balanced with a dry, textured finish.
Creamy tropical and dried fruits, balanced by a hint of sweetness, developing into rich spice.
An utterly delightful 12-year-old Single Malt, with a complex, creamy palate of green apples, vanilla cream, and baking spice. Soft dark fruit and malted cereal tones, and a lingering finish make for a complete and extremely enjoyable drink. Glorious!
Vibrant and fresh green orchard fruit on the nose complimented by forest floors and warm vanilla. A classic Speyside with hints of leather and citrus on the finish.
Sweetly floral with toasty, baked spices and herbal lemon touches. Treacle sponge, apple turnover and candied lemon peel developing to a balanced citrus and grain-rich finish.
Versatile nose with dried fruit, subtle dry hay notes, and a hint of sweet exoticism. Fine aromas of nutmeg on the palate, which open up and becomes punchy towards the finish. Long finish.
Elegant aroma with sweet, deep malt, delicate sweetness and a fine smoky overtone. Fine sweetness of shortcrust pastry on the palate, plus orange jelly. Round and complex right through to the slightly peppery finish.
Dark malt, white chocolate and fresh cherry notes are evident in the aroma. Full-bodied on the palate with butterscotch, yellow fruit and light citrus. Long finish.
