After being founded by John Duff & Co in 1897, the distillery was mothballed for 65 years with only its floor maltings being used for the Longmorn distillery next door. After experiencing great success under the ownership of Billy Walker and his partners, it won Distillery of the Year from Malt Advocate magazine in 2007 and has received rave reviews for its peated and un-peated expressions alike.
The distillery was purchased by Brown-Forman in 2016 - the same year they bought GlenDronach and Glenglassaugh - and in 2017 Rachel Barrie took over as master blender.
Matured in the traditional style in American bourbon barrels, this whisky is then ‘finished’ in Sauternes casks, sourced from the Bordeaux region of France. During this second period of maturation the whisky interacts with the oak wood and derives a number of additional interesting flavours and aromas. With only a limited quantity released world wide, the 15 years old Sauternes Finish was a welcome addition to the BenRiach 'Wood Finish Series'.
