BenRiach
Distillery Company named "Whisky
Distiller of the Year" 2015 at the
"Icons of Whisky Scotland 2015" awards.
 It
is certainly the time of year for whisky
awards but this is one which is
certainly well deserved, the BenRiach
Distillery Company, owners of the
award-winning BenRiach, GlenDronach and
Glenglassaugh single malt whiskies, has
received the prestigious accolade of
"Whisky Distiller of the Year" 2015 at
the "Icons of Whisky Scotland 2015"
Awards presented by Whisky Magazine.
The "Icons" reward the people and places
behind Scotland’s great whiskies,
celebrating companies and individuals
for their significant contribution to
the Scotch whisky industry.
In 2004, whisky veteran Billy Walker and
his two South African partners Geoff
Bell and Wayne Kieswetter purchased
BenRiach, turning it into one of
Scotland’s most admired distilleries.
GlenDronach distillery, Glenglassaugh
distillery and a large bottling plant at
Newbridge followed.
All three distilleries produce unique
whiskies with extraordinary depth,
balance and character.
Billy Walker commented: "It is a
fantastic achievement for a
privately-owned, independent company to
win the award for “Whisky Distiller of
the Year”. I’m delighted that it both
recognises the creative and innovative
things we have been doing at our three
distilleries over the last ten years and
salutes the high-quality team we have
built."
Billy added: "We will continue to
introduce our wonderful portfolio to new
markets. Currently we are trading in
some 40 countries worldwide with other
emerging markets entering the
negotiation stage, so the future for all
our brands is tremendously exciting."
The "Icons of Whisky Scotland 2015" cap
a very successful year for the BenRiach
Distillery Company. In August the
company posted record pre-tax profits of
£8.9m for 2013 boosted by unprecedented
demand for its high-end whiskies in
Asia, North America, Russia and Europe.
