Ardmore Distillery |
Speyside |
|
|
|
|
Ardmore Distillery was founded in the
year of 1898 by the blending company William Teachers &
Sons. The Distillery lies next to the railway between
Aberdeen and Inverness in the village Kennethmont.
The purpose was as with almost all
distilleries started at that time to supply malt whisky
to the blended industry. In this case it was the owners
own blend -Teachers.
In 1974 Ardmore expanded its distillery from four to
eight stills. Around the same time they ceased to malt
their own barley. Ardmore purchased the distillery in
1976 but is now owned by Fortune Brands. It is one of
the biggest distilleries measured in total capacity(4.2
million litres per annum). Most of the whisky is used
for making blended whisky. Ardmore are among the few distilleries
with their own cooperage. |
