How is Ben r iach The Twelve made?
The key to the creation of this whisky is time, the right selection of barrels and expert knowledge combined with the tradition and craftsmanship of the Benriach distillery.
To become Benriach The Twelve whisky, the distillate matures for twelve years.
This whisky is matured primarily in casks that previously held sherry, but bourbon and port barrels are also used.
The secret to the taste of this whisky is the use of peat-dried malt and maturation in three types of casks – bourbon, rum and new oak – for a minimum of ten years. Then the whiskies from the different casks are combined under the watchful eye of Master Blender Dr Rachel Baerrie to create a complex smoky and fruity flavour in the characteristic Speyside style of Benriach.
The history of the Benriach brand
Adventurer and entrepreneur John Duff founded the Benriach Distillery in 1898.
This distillery is located in the heart of Scottish Speyside, in the north-eastern region of Morayshire, and has retained the artisan tradition of creating single malt whisky to this day.
The Benriach philosophy is a creative approach to whisky distillation, maturing in a variety of casks and boldly combining spirits. At Benriach Distillery we distill three distinct styles of whisky: classic unpeated, smoky and small batch triple distilled whisky. A very important place in the distillery is Warehouse 13, where you can find some truly excellent casks – bourbon, sherry, port, Spanish and Portuguese wines and some new, as yet unused ones. The casks are carefully selected by Master Distiller Dr Rachel Barrie so that the whisky matures in them with a complex flavour.
Benriach whisky is characterized by such a multi-dimensional taste and variety of styles thanks to the unique method of distillation, which extracts notes of fruit from the whisky. Benriach is also distinguished by its mineral-rich water, the tradition of making malt directly in the distillery, and high-quality barley from local crops.
