Virtual Tasting of The Forty Octave Cask Matured with Stewart Buchanan

Stewart is Benriach’s torchbearer and champion around the world, and he travels constantly in his role as the Benriach Global Brand Ambassador. So dedicated is he to Benriach that during the distillery's renovation, he slept on the floor of the maltings loft. Never at home in Speyside for long, you will find him on the road spreading the word of our award-winning single malts. A Speyside single malt Scotch whisky as intriguing and extraordinary as Benriach could not have come to be without a unique whisky-making heritage, dating from 1898 when founder John Duff built his distillery. Ruggedly beautiful, Benriach stands on the site of the old Riach farm in north Speyside, drawing water from a mineral-rich aquifer, deep beneath the distillery. Thanks to a long-standing tradition of distilling three styles of whisky; classic unpeated, Highland peated, and triple distilled, together with an eclectic selection of casks from around the world, our whisky makers are able to explore the full flavor possibilities of single malt, creating some of the richest, most multi-layered whiskies in Speyside.
