Benriach

The BenRiach Distillery was established by the Grant family in 1892 next to the Longmorn Distillery. Soon after, the distillery was mothballed in 1900 due to the collapse of a major Scotch Whisky purchaser, forcing many Scotch whisky distilleries to close. The BenRiach remained closed until 1965 when it was reopened by Glenlivet Distillers Ltd. In 1978 the distillery changed hands, this time to Seagrams. Seagrams became part of Pernod Ricard in 2001 and the BenRiach distillery began operating for just three months of every year. In 2004 the distillery was acquired by an independent consortium, the BenRiach Distillery Company Limited, committed to sharing the little known but high quality single malts with a wider audience.
