The Ben Riach Speyside Whiskey Distillery Elgin Morayshire, Grampian Region, Scotland. SCO 6157
The Benriach distillery is located near Elgin in the 'Lossie' area of Speyside, just in between Linkwood and Longmorn. It was built in the year 1898 by John Duff, who had constructed the Longmorn distillery a year earlier. Unfortunately, financial problems forced him to sell both distilleries soon afterwards - surely a tragic tale. Name: Benriach was purchased by the Longmorn Distillery Co Ltd. who then decided to close it again in 1900. After remaining silent for over half a century, Benriach was eventually rebuilt by new owner The Glenlivet Distilleries Ltd. in 1965 and sold to Seagram in 1977. Seagram installed a second set of stills (wash & spirit) in 1985.
