The BenRiach
distillery has teamed up with
innovatively creative Scottish menswear
designer Kestin Hare to promote some of
the best Scotland has to offer.
It is always great to see quality
Scottish brands collaborating to promote
the best that Scotland has to offer and
on this occasion The BenRiach distillery
in Speyside has teamed up with Scottish
menswear designer Kestin Hare in a
partnership which will celebrate the
creative approaches to whisky distilling
and clothing design.
To mark the collaboration, Kestin Hare’s
2019 Spring Collection will feature five
different garments inspired by the
whisky, landscape and architecture of
the BenRiach distillery in Speyside.
Hare has teamed up with Scottish mill,
Halley Stevenson, to develop traditional
peat dyed and garment dyed products,
representing the unique colours of aged
BenRiach Speyside Whisky. Dundee-based
Halley Stevenson has garment dyed the
Shop Coat to colour reference two
BenRiach expressions, the 10 year old
peated Curiositas and four cask matured
21 year old non-peated whisky.
Hare also took inspiration from the
BenRiach whisky casks and created a
digital cask print in a lightweight
ripstop nylon featuring on the Torness
Parka, Traveller Jacket, Fatigue Short
and Storr Pant.
BenRiach Global Brand Ambassador,
Stewart Buchanan said:
"At BenRiach we have been exploring the
creative possibilities of our Speyside
malt for decades. Driven by a creative
approach to whisky distilling, cask
maturation and blending, all in the
pursuit of flavour, we are delighted to
join forces with Kestin Hare menswear to
create experimental, hand-crafted,
whisky inspired products for 2019. The
garments are inspired by our eclectic
mix of cask types and two of our
distinct styles of Scottish whisky,
heavily peated 10 year old Curiositas
and four cask matured 21 year old
non-peated."
Founder of Scottish Menswear Brand,
Kestin Hare said:
"I’m a big fan of weaving in Scottish
heritage into my collections, and when I
went to visit the BenRiach distillery I
was so charmed by the process, the
whisky, the people and the location, it
gave me lots to play with. I think we
have developed a high impact capsule
collection with real depth and meaning
to the story. The colours and textures
are beautiful and the garment dyed
element ensures that every garment has a
unique finish which I think is a nice
touch."
The rather innovatively creative Kestin
Hare designed products will be available
to purchase both online and in store
from end of February 2019 and of course
you will find the current BenRiach
whisky range as well as their recently
released
BenRiach Single Cask Batch 15
available from specialist online whisky
retailers such as The Whisky Exchange
and
Master of Malt
