Fundada en 1825 en las afueras de la ciudad del mismo nombre, funcionó sin incidentes hasta 1930, cuando fue suspendida. Propiedad de Distillers Company Ltd desde 1925, reabrió sus puertas en 1967, después de algunas remodelaciones y ampliaciones, para proporcionar whisky para las mezclas de la empresa.
Continuó en producción durante la década de 1970 y se cerró en 1983.

The distillery is owned by Diageo and its construction is currently under the direction of Alexander McDonald, an Islay resident who held previous positions at the Kilchoman, Lagavulin and Caol Ila distilleries. Plans are to reopen the distillery in 2023 and wake it from its long, silent slumber.

Inspired on a photography of the distillery

Kavalan Distillery has been pioneering the art of single malt whiskey in Yilan County, Taiwan since 2005.
The double distillation method is applied at the Kavalan Distillery. Stills are usually run in pairs.
The first distillation is to separate the alcohol and water. The second is made up of three parts: the close-ups (the first spirit out of the still), the heart, and the feints (the last spirit out of the still).
The best part of the heart is collected and packed in barrels for maturation.

Inspirada en una fotografía de @bladnochwhisky 

Bladnoch's rich history dates back to 1817 when John and Thomas McClelland first obtained a license to distill whisky on their Bladnoch farm in the Scottish Lowlands.

For nearly a century, successive generations of the McClelland family grew and modernized the distillery.
Over the next 80 years, Bladnoch Distillery changed hands several times and continued to produce the finest Lowland whisky.

En 2015, el empresario australiano David Prior adquirió la empresa.
Después de 2 años de renovaciones bajo la dirección del Maestro Destilador, Ian MacMillan, Bladnoch Distillery reanudó la producción.
Y en 2019, el aclamado Maestro Destilador, el Dr. Nick Savage, se unió al equipo dedicado y apasionado de Bladnoch.

Inspired by a photograph of Glenfarclas Distillery.
Thanks to my very creative friend John Robertson at @scotchwhisky.studio for giving this canvas the assertive name.

Glenfarclas Distillery is a Speyside whiskey distillery in Ballindalloch, Scotland. Glenfarclas translates to valley of green grass. The distillery has been run by its owners, the Grant family, since 1865 when it was purchased by John Grant.
