BenRiach ‘Malting Season’ celebrates our floor maltings which lie at the heart of the Benriach distillery. The historical lifeblood of the of the distillery, they have remained in production for over 120 years since John Duff built the distillery. The malt produced during our malting season results in a rounded and creamy single malt of exceptional richness and character, a tribute to our founder and the slow craft of his historic maltings.
