Miltonduff Distillery Miltonduff, Elgin Morayshire IV30 3TQ +44 1343 547 433 Owner: Pernod-Ricard Creation date 1824 |
The distillery is situated on the site of the old Pluscarden abbey
who owned a brewery and probably a distillery too as soon as in the
13th century. The recent history of the distillery is not very good
known, but is seems that Miltonduff has been founded in 1824 by Bain
and Peary, and sold to William Stuart, in those days co-owner of the Highland
Park distillery.
The end of the 19th century is characterized by a boom followed by
a severe recession in the world of whisky, and Miltonduff did not escape
to the movement. Important alteration works have been conducted and
a new mash-house and still house have been build in 1896.
The consequences of the recession are not well known, and it is difficult
to be sure if the distillery had to close down. Anyway it has been
purchased in 1936 by Hiram Walker and is currently part of the Allied
Distillers Ltd group. The distillery has been acquired together with Glenburgie.
The new owner made some alteration works, and installed two Lomond
Stills in 1964 in addition to the existing stills. This Lomond
stills have been used up to 1981 and produces the Mosstowie whisky.
A little part of the production is marketed as single malt by the Elgin's
independent bottler Gordon & McPhail. 50% is sold to blenders,
and the remaining part is used in the blends of the group: Ballantine's,
Teachers and Old Smuggler.

The Speyside area is situated at the North of the Cairngorm mountain and goes to the Moray firth. It is delimited
by two rivers: the Findhorn at the West side and the Deveron on the East side.
The area is named after the river Spey. Most of the distilleries take their water in one of its affluents; the Fiddich, the
Livet or the Avon.
About sixty distilleries from Speyside are described on this site.

Whisky is an alcoholic drink. Let's prefer quality to quantity as the abuse of alcohol beverages can damage the health. Consuming alcoholic drinks during pregnancy, even in small quantities, can seriously affect the health of the child.
