The GlenAllachie Distillers Co.
GlenAllachie distillery is a Speyside, single malt whisky distillery at Aberlour founded in 1967, which sits at the foot of Ben Rinnes.
Previously, the distillery mainly produced whisky for blends, however, has since been relaunched as a distillery known for its fruity, single malt expressions. In July 2017, it was announced that Chivas Brothers agreed to sell GlenAllachie to former BenRiach MD Billy Walker, Trisha Savage and ex-Inver House Distillers MD Graham Stevenson, who came together to form The GlenAllachie Distillers Company. It is now one of Scotland's few independently owned and managed distilleries.
The GlenAllachie distillery was built in 1967 by Mackinlay McPherson. It was bought and mothballed by Invergordon Distillers in 1985. They sold it to Campbell Distillers in 1989, who restarted the distillery. In 2017, the distillery was sold to Billy Walker, Graham Stevenson, and Trisha Savage, who came together as The GlenAllachie Distillers Company Limited, along with two blended Scotch whisky brands - White Heather and MacNair's.
In 2024, the distillery carried out a rebranding. This gave the bottlings a new look and limited special bottlings were henceforth summarized under the name "Wood Collection". The rebranding also introduced the slogan "whisky in good hands".
The building of the GlenAllachie distillery was designed by S. Lothian Barclay from Lothian, Barclay Jarvis & Boys and William Delme-Evans. It is located at the foot of, close to the Lour burn. The grounds have ponds that are fed by the Lour, that provide water for cooling. In June 2023, the distillery completed the upgrade of the visitor Centre.
