Full Description
Distillery. Founded in 1888, the distillery complex was completed in 1891 with a layout by Charles Doig of Elgin. The majority of buildings which can be seen today date to the 1960s phase of re-building. The original pagoda-roofed maltings survives, but now houses a mash tun, and a 3 and 9 bay, 3-storey bonded store block also survive. Whisky produced at the distillery is no longer matured on site, but is tankered away to be filled into casks elsewhere. Known locally as 'White Horse' distillery.
