In the late 19th century John Duff was at the helm of a miniature whisky empire. Business was booming for his two distilleries, Glenlossie and Longmorn, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot with yet another venture. As it turned out, his optimism was misplaced. BenRiach was established in 1897, just two years before a huge downturn in the market forced it (and many other distilleries) to close.
It wasn’t until 65 Years later, when it was acquired by Seagram, that BenRiach was finally resurrected. Still, it didn’t make much of an impact on the single malt market until Master Blender, Billy Walker, took the reins in 2003. Along with the ailing Glenglassaugh, and GlenDronach, Walker reinvigorated the brand, elevating it to the position it enjoys today.
