Benriach is a distillery with long-standing transatlantic connections. It was procured by Seagram in 1978, the former Canadian drinks empire, and is now in the hands of the Brown-Forman corporation, via Billy Walker who rescued it from a brief mothballing in 2002. Walker bottled some of the peated whisky that Seagram had begun producing there for its blends in 1983, and the positive reaction to these means the distillery now produces both a peated and unpeated single malt. Benriach is one of only seven distilleries in Scotland to still operate its own in-house floor maltings. An older style bottling of the Speyside distillery's 10 year old malt.
This is an old Seagram era version of the 10 year old, first launched in 1994. This expression was discontinued in the early 2000s after the collapse of Seagram and subsequent closure of the distillery.
