Founded in 1897, Glentauchers was one of the distilleries started by the highly successful blender James Buchanan, with the design overseen by the legendary Charles Doig.
Doig was a true innovator in distillery architecture and was responsible for the attractive pagoda roof (or 'Doig's Vent') seen on most distilleries in Scotland today.
Originally, these roofs were designed to draw air up through the barley bed above the kiln, but since almost all of the in-house malthouses have closed, they are now purely ornamental.
