GlenAllachie Distillery:

Was established in 1967, and the first "new make" ran from the boilers in February 1968. GlenAllachie, which means "The Valley of the Rocks", was built as a result of the huge whiskey boom of the 1960s, where the total production in Scotland increased quite strongly, primarily driven by demand from the US market. The first owners who built the distillery were the company Mackinlays, which was a subsidiary of Scottish & Newcastle Breweries. The architect responsible for the construction was William Delmé-Evans, who was also behind the design of several other Scottish distilleries. In 1985 Scottish & Newcastle Breweries sold the company Mackinlays to Invergordon Distillers and in 1989 GlenAllachie became part of Campbell Distillers (now Pernod Ricard). In October 2017, the distillery was bought by the legendary Billy Walker and two business partners.

Destilleriets udrustning:

The distillery is equipped with a 9.4-tonne mash tun (mash vat) and 8 washbacks (fermentation vats). Distillation takes place on two boiler sets, which are unusual in that they are very wide at the bottom of the boilers. Another characteristic of the boiler house at GlenAllachie is that all the "shell and tube" condensers are placed horizontally above the boilers. GlenAllachie's water supply comes from the impressive Benrinnes, located just behind the distillery itself.

GlenAllachie Distillers Company:

blev etableret i oktober 2017 med det formål at overtage destilleriet fra Pernod-Ricard. Virksomheden ledes af Master Distiller Billy Walker, der har mere end 50 års erfaring i whiskyindustrien. Ved sin side har han som partnere Trisha Savage og Graham Stevenson. Firmaet er velpolstret efter Billys salg af The Benriach Distillery Company, og man er derved fri for at tænke kortsigtet. Tingene vil blive gjort ordentligt, og det bliver nok lidt af en rejse, som Billy Walker inviterer os alle med på.
