About Benrinnes

Benrinnes Distillery

Active since 1826, Benrinnes, or ‘Lyne of Ruthrie’ as it was called at the time, was founded by Peter McKenzie who saw the distillery through a subsequent flood and rebuilding. The distillery, now owned by the spirit giant Diageo, is equipped with two wash and four spirit stills. Near Aberlour, Speyside Scotland. Benrinnes used a unique partial triple distillation process, which was rare in Scotland. This process was used until 2007, after which the distillery switched to the more common double distillation method. Benrinnes unique production methods have given the distillery a reputation for producing whiskies with a weightier, more complex character compared to many lighter Speyside malts. Benrinnes has also been producing one fifteen-year-old semi-official bottling in the Flora and Fauna range since 1991.
