BenRiach's 12
year old Sherry Wood Matured single malt
expression has been voted the best in
China.
 I was pleased to hear today that
BenRiach has be recognised by the new
China Whisky Guide 2013. BenRiach's 12
year old Sherry Wood Matured single malt
expression has been voted the best in
China.
A total of 120 single malts and blends
were judged for the first official guide
to whisky in Mainland China and the
BenRiach 12 year old Sherry Wood Matured
expression, scoring 95 points, has won
the Platinum Signature Award. This means
that it has been judged to be the best
available 12 year old single malt in
China according to the China Whisky
Guide 2013.
The rich, aromatic Single Malt has been
created in BenRiach's Elgin distillery
by marrying together whiskies matured in
Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez Sherry Butts
sourced from Jerez in Southern Spain.
It has already won numerous awards
including two trophies in the
prestigious International Wine and
Spirits Competition.
Billy Walker said: "We're delighted to
win this new award and achieve further
recognition for our expressions. China
is the world's second biggest economy
and it's our long-term aim to educate
Chinese consumers with a desire for
heritage luxury brands about our whisky
culture with brands such as BenRiach,
GlenDronach and Glenglassaugh."
He added: "At the luxury end, China is
the biggest market in the world and the
potential is vast. Western spirits
currently account for less than 2% of
the Chinese drinks market which is worth
£42bn. Burgeoning wealth and steady
urbanisation mean that this £42bn market
will keep getting bigger, so we are well
placed to capitalise on this growing
trend and awards like this help boost
our reputation."
BenRiach Chief Executive Billy Walker's

this 12 year old is.
