Benriach 8 Year Old 2016 Strictly Limited (Carn Mor) Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich and inviting, with waves of milk chocolate and sweet, sun-dried raisins. Then hints of marzipan, soft apricot, vanilla, and toasted almond.
Palate: The fruitiness deepens with notes of plum and baked apple, while subtle oak spice weaves in with nutmeg and a hint of clove.
Finish: A whisper of almonds and soft, spiced fruits that slowly fade.
Distillery Information
Benriach Distillery was founded in 1898 by John Duff. The Speysider has overcome a chequered history that began with opening just a year before The Pattison crash of 1899 followed by years of dormancy or changing of hands. Following monetary difficulties the distillery was sold to the Longmorn Distilleries Company, who closed it at the turn of the twentieth century. Benriach, named for the Gaelic for ‘speckled mountain’, saw an upturn in fortunes in the 1960s, however, and from 1965 onwards was run by new owners The Glenlivet Distillers. Seagrams purchased the distillery in 1978, then in 1985 two extra stills were added bringing the total to four. When Pernod Ricard took over Seagram’s whisky division in 2001 Benriach was mothballed, but in April of 2004, Benriach was sold, along with several thousand casks, for £5.4million to the South African company, Infra Trading, combining their efforts with Burn Stewart director Billy Walker. They reopened the distillery the following year and soon established the Benriach Distilling Co. In 2008, the Benriach Distilling Co acquired a second distillery from Chivas Brothers in the shape of GlenDronach, before adding Glenglassaugh Distillery to its portfolio in 2013. Brown-Forman, the Louisville, Kentucky-based producer of Jack Daniel’s, in-turn bought the Benriach Distilling Co in 2016 for £281 million.
