Viewer's Comments about Glenallachie
The
Glenallachie Distillery was established in 1967 in the heart
of Speyside by Mackinlay and Macpherson Ltd., a subsidary
of Scottish and Newcastle Breweries Ltd. In 1968, the first
spirit was produced which provided a Speyside malt for the
Mackinlay’s blends.
In 1985, Invergordon Distillers Group purchased Glenallachie
Distillery along with brands and Isle of Juran Distillery;
Glenallachie was then mothballed. In 1989, Campbell Distillers
(owners of the nearby Aberlour
Distillery) purchased Glenallachie and restarted
the distillery. The inventory of the plant even listed the
ducks in the dam!
In 1975, Pernod Ricard acquired Campbell Distillers. Chivas
Brothers, a subsidiary of Ricard is the producer of Glenallachie.
Glenallachie is a component of Chivas Brothers Cask Strength
editions
Glenallachie Single Highland Malt Whisky is available in a
12 Year Old Style - a tasty and underated Speyside malt. Glenallachie's
1992 Connoisseur's Choice bottled by Gordon & MacPhail
is an uncomplicated, aperitif whisky and its 1992 Signatory
has matured for 14 years. Most of the production is used for
blending, specifically for the Clan Campbell brand which belongs
to Chivas.
