Benriach - Rachel Barrie

Our Master Blender Rachel Barrie - who holds the distinction of an honours degree in chemistry from Edinburgh University and had been inducted in to Whisky Magazine's 'Whisky Hall of Fame' - cultivated her love of single malt whisky in the Garioch district of Aberdeenshire, where she was born and raised to appreciate the flavour nuances of the locally distilled malt whisky. And so with her degree safely completed, the call of the casks set Rachel on the first step of a 26-year long journey in whisky making, which now sees her in her creative element as Master Blender for Benriach.
