Rest & Be Thankful took inspiration for their name from an inscription on a stone on top of Glen Croe in 1753, written by soldiers who were thankful to have made the long and steep ascent and had a place to rest. It is one of the brands under Fox Fitzgerald Whisky Co. Founded by Eamonn Jones and Aidan Smith, both who have many years of experience working in the industry with Ian Macleod Distillers and Whyte & Mackay.

The Benrinnes Distillery first produced spirit back in 1826 and was known originally between 1974 and 2007 for producing a partially triple distilled spirit. The distillery itself has been through a tough time, fires and floods have meant it has been rebuilt a number of times and been through a few owners. The distillery is now owned by Diageo and it is used for their well known blends. It was first well known though for producing spirit for use in Crawford’s blended whiskies and was known for its 15 year old vintage.

This single cask whisky was distilled in 2007 at the Benrinnes Distillery. It was placed in a Bourbon Hogshead cask and left to mature for 12 years. In May 2019 it was bottled at 56.8% abv by the Rest & Be Thankful Whisky Co. Only 281 bottles were produced for worldwide distribution.
