Benriach 10 years The Original Ten

The Original Ten encapsulates the signature smooth and multi-layered character of Benriach.

Three cask matured for at least ten years in bourbon barrels, sherry casks and virgin oak, to create layers of luscious orchard fruit, sumptuous honeyed malt and toasted oak, all interwoven with a subtle trace of smoke.

The perfect introduction to the signature style and richly layered Speyside Single Malt.

Rachel Barrie – Master Blender:

"It's the classic, sweet, fruit-laden style of Benriach. Luscious orchard fruit on a base of beautiful vanilla cream and pastry, that for me is The Original Ten."

Benriach Distillery

Benriach Distillery is located in the heart of the Speyside region, near the town of Elgin in Moray. Founded in 1898 by John Duff, Benriach has a rich history marked by both periods of closure and revival. Since reopening in 1965, Benriach has established itself as a producer of high-quality single malt whiskies.

A unique feature of Benriach is its diversity in production processes. The distillery produces both peated and unpeated whiskies, which is rare in the Speyside region. This gives Benriach a wide range of flavour profiles, from smoky and robust to refined and fruity. The distillery uses water from nearby Burnside Springs, which contributes to the purity of their whisky.

Benriach whiskies are known for their complexity and depth, with notes of honey, vanilla, fruit and a hint of spice. Maturation takes place in a variety of casks, including ex-bourbon, sherry, rum and wine casks, ensuring a rich and layered flavour experience.

The combination of traditional techniques, innovation and a beautiful location makes Benriach a respected name in the world of Scotch single malt whisky.
