Description
BenRiach distillery is located in the ‘Heart of Speyside’, 3 miles south of the town of Elgin, in the North-East of Scotland. Built by John Duff in 1898, BenRiach is one of the few distilleries with its own on-site maltings, and draws its water from the Burnside Springs. BenRiach Curiositas achieves a peat richness through the use of malted barley dried in the traditional way over peat infused kilns, and as such is particularly unusual for a Speyside malt. Traditionalists believe that peated malts achieve optimum balance of peat-bittersweet and oak infusion after 10 years of maturation.
