Benriach Horizons Triple Distilled

Benriach Horizons is a limited release of a late 1990's experimental batch of triple distilled Benriach aged 12 years. Originally matured in ex-bourbon barrels, this triple-distilled Benriach has double matured in Oloroso Sherry casks. Benriach John Duff commissioned the Elgin based architect Charles C. Doig to design Benriach Distillery which was duly established in 1898 just south of Elgin and complete with a siding connecting Benriach Distillery directly to the great North of Scotland Railway and the scotch blenders down south. But Benriach Distillery opened just as the whisky bubble burst and was forced to closed in 1900 and remained closed until 1965. Benriach’s maltings did continued to operate but finally closed in 1999. An iconic Scottish malt whisky distillery complete with a Doig pagoda roof over the malt kiln. The Benriach Distillery range includes limited releases of triple distilled, peated and un-peated single malt whiskies.
