Benriach was originally built in 1898 by John Duff (who also owned the nearby Longmorn Distillery). Benriach only began to produce spirit again in 1965 when it was reopened by Glenlivet Distillers Ltd. This was because the new owners decided to have the distillery sell its very own range of single malts. Benriach Distillery was sold again in 2016, this time to Brown-Forman Corporation, which also owns Jack Daniel’s. Benriach The Twelve was first launched in 2020 as part of their new core range of single malts.
