The Original Ten is the definitive introduction to the Benriach style, capturing the roundness, fruitiness, and multi-layered complexity that the distillery is known for. This expression is inspired by the rich, vigorous character of the very first Single Malt ever produced by the distillery.
Its sophisticated profile is the result of a precise "three-cask" maturation process, utilizing Bourbon barrels, Sherry casks, and Virgin Oak. This combination creates a harmonious balance of orchard fruits, honey, and toasted oak. Its exceptional quality was recognized globally in 2023 with top honors at major spirits competitions.
