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. |

The
Glenallachie Distillery
The Glenallachie (pronounced "Glen-alec-y") Distillery
is one of the youngest distilleries in Scotland. Built in
1967, it is nestled at the foot of the Ben Rinnes and draws
its water from deep granite springs and snow-fed burns.
The 1960s style distillery was designed by Architect S Lothian
Barclay of Lothian, Barclay Jarvis & Boys and Managing
Director and Designer Delme Evans. Delme has also built
Isle of Jura and Tullibardine Distilleries prior to Glenallachie.
Glenallachie Distillery is a four pot still, malt distillery.
This Highland Scotch Malt Whisky is matured in American
Oak casks which previously held bourbon.
The name Glenallachie may have been derived from the early
gaelic word ailech which means rocky place, from ail, a
rock. Allachie also translates to the modern Gaelic Eileachaidh
– rocky or stony.
Glenallachie distillery does not have a visitor centre or
offer tours. |
