BenRiach PX Albariza Aged 22 Years
$380.00
RARE RELEASE
Hidden away in the depths of our traditional dunnage warehouses at the BenRiach distillery lies an eclectic collection of whisky in wood types from all around the world. BenRiach is a rich, fruit-laden Speyside Single Malt, imbued with an abundance of orchard fruits in the spirit character. This style matures extremely well, prone to quickly taking on oak aromatics. This has led to a great tradition wood finishing at the distillery and the release of one of our oldest ever, BenRiach Pedro Ximénez Aged 22 Years.
UNIQUE TO SPEYSIDE
Back in the 1970s, BenRiach made the bold move of distilling a proportion of its whisky using peated malted barley; marking a return to the original Speyside character and flavour of malts made during the nineteenth century. This gives us the unique opportunity in the region to be the only distillery releasing PEATED Speyside spirit of this age.
DOUBLE CASK MATURATION
Originally matured in American oak casks, the whisky is then finished in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks for enhanced richness. Bottled at natural colour and non chill filtered, BenRiach Pedro Ximénez Aged 22 Years is a balanced marriage of just 12 individual casks from the distillery.
PEAT CHARACTER
As peated spirit matures it naturally mellows and becomes sweeter on the palate. This expression’s long years of maturation in our dunnage warehouses has therefore enhanced the sweet peat character of BenRiach, mellowing the smoke character and enriching the layers of sherry sweetness.

Located in the ‘Heart of Speyside’, in the North-East region of Morayshire, BenRiach displays all the traditional charm of a Speyside distillery. Built by John Duff in 1898, BenRiach draws its water from the Burnside springs located underground, deep below the distillery.
Although BenRiach started producing malt whisky back in 1898, the distillery was a victim of unfortunate timing; BenRiach was operational for just two years before the ‘Pattison crash’, in 1900, resulted in a period of hardship for the entire whisky industry, and the resultant closure of many distilleries. So, after just a couple of years of distillation, the stills at BenRiach fell silent, and remained so for sixty five long years. Under normal circumstances, this would have spelled the end for the distillery, as the buildings would surely have been demolished. However, next to BenRiach lay its sister distillery, Longmorn, which had enjoyed sporadic periods of production during BenRiach’s lengthy hiatus. The whisky makers at Longmorn continued to source some of their malted barley from the floor maltings at BenRiach, which had remained operational, and it was this alone that kept BenRiach alive during those ‘mothballed’ years.
Then, in 1965, the Scotch whisky industry entered a golden era, and suddenly new distilleries were being commissioned and mothballed distilleries re-opened, including BenRiach. Production re-commenced immediately.
Fast-forward to 2004, and the beginning of the most exciting period in BenRiach’s history. It was in April of that year that BenRiach became independent, having been purchased by The BenRiach Distillery Company Limited. This independent ownership allows the distillery to experiment with several interesting wood finishes and it continues to produce whisky from both peated and non-peated malted barley.
The BenRiach portrays its own uniqueness through the particular methods and skills of the men who craft the whisky, the ingredients used, the distinctive copper stills and the high quality casks selected for maturation.
