The W Club Meets Dr. Rachel Barrie

In the last episode of Decanted we caught up with the famous Dr. Rachel Barrie. Dr. Barrie is the Master Distiller at  The Glendronach, Glenglassaugh, and Benriach. Her ability to blend rare and exceptional casks has earned her recognition as one of the industry's leading experts.

Benriach distillery was established by John Duff in 1898 on the site of Riach farm in the north of Speyside. Closed for most of the 20th century, the distillery has only been releasing bottlings since 1994. Despite this relatively short period of production, Benriach remained true to its experimental heritage and has grown dramatically in the last 20 years.

Glenglassaugh's slogan is "A whisky shaped by land and sea," on account of the distillery enjoying a picturesque location at Sandend Bay on the Moray Firth coast, not far from Portsoy.

The Highland whisky has continued its traditional processes, with a fondness for maturing a heavy and robust spirit in sherry casks for long periods of time. The GlenDronach distillery was founded in 1826 in the Forgue valley near Aberdeenshire. It specialises in creating whiskies with an elegant and complex taste, with a large depth of flavour.
