History

[edit]

The Macpherson-Grant family began looking for a use for old farm buildings on the grounds of Speyside's Ballindalloch Castle in late summer 2011, and they decided to build a distillery, but keeping the old buildings preserved as far as possible.[1]

Ballindalloch distillery began production in September 2014.[2][3]

The barley used was grown on the estate, and the spirit matured here, allowing the Macpherson-Grants to describe Ballindalloch as Scotland's first single estate distillery.The inaugural bottling was expected in 2022.[4]

In the Whisky Magazine Awards 2022, Ballindalloch distillery won the prize for Craft Producer.[5]
