Tel 01862 821273

One of the older distilleries dating back to 1790. In 1872 the distillery was expanded, the old building becoming a bonded warehouse. Silent between 1911 and 1949 although a skeleton staff was maintained until the early 1930s. Commandeered by the Army during WW11. The maltings closed in 1975. The original rivited wash still remains, the only surviving example in Scotland. Prior to fire breaks being installed Balblair had the longest warehouse of any distillery in Scotland.
