Glendullan distillery

Glendullan Distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery located in Dufftown, Moray, Scotland. The distillery was founded in 1897 by William Williams & Sons Ltd., a blender based in Aberdeen.

History

The Glendullan Distillery was established during the whisky boom of the late 19th century. The distillery was designed by the architect Charles Doig, who was renowned for his work on Scottish distilleries. The distillery was initially equipped with two pot stills, and the whisky produced was primarily used in blends.

In 1925, the distillery was acquired by Distillers Company Ltd. (DCL), which later became part of Diageo, a multinational alcoholic beverages company. During the 1960s, the distillery underwent significant expansion, with the number of pot stills increasing to six.

In 1972, a new distillery building was constructed alongside the original, effectively doubling the production capacity. The original distillery was closed in 1985, but the new distillery continues to operate and produce whisky.

Production

The Glendullan Distillery produces a range of single malt Scotch whiskies. The distillery uses traditional methods of whisky production, including copper pot stills and oak casks for maturation. The water used in the production process is sourced from the Conval Hills.

The distillery's core range includes the Glendullan Classic, a light and fruity whisky, and the Glendullan Distillers Edition, which is finished in sherry casks for a richer flavour. The distillery also produces a number of limited edition and special release whiskies.

In popular culture

The Glendullan Distillery has been featured in various media. It is one of the distilleries featured in the Classic Malts of Scotland series, a selection of single malt whiskies that showcase the diversity of Scotch whisky. The distillery is also mentioned in the novel The Angels' Share by James Markert.
