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.
Importanticus Fumosus was released in 2007 and is part of a range of three 12 year old heavily peated BenRiach’s. It was originally matured in American Oak and then finished in aged Tawny Port Hogsheads. The name Importanticus Fumosus translates from Latin to ‘Smoky Port’.
