The Spirit of Survival: The History of BenRiach Distillery

from Whisky.dk Podcast · host Whisky.dk

BenRiach has lived two lives. One where the distillation sat dead silent for 65 years, while the malting floors alone kept the place alive, sending grain to the neighbouring distillery on a tiny steam locomotive. The other where a handful of whisky enthusiasts bought it back from oblivion in 2004 and turned it into one of Speyside's most experimental distilleries — unpeated, peated, and triple-distilled, all under one roof. In this Whisky.dk ai Podcast episode we dig into the story of the distillery that refused to die, and how it lives on today under an American family company without ever losing its curiosity.Send us Fan MailSupport the showThanks for listening - please visit our websiteAt Whisky.dk, we strive to become Denmark's top destination for whisky enthusiasts, offering an unparalleled selection of whisky, whiskey, and bourbon.
