Addess:
Ailsa Bay Distillery
Grangestone Industrial Estate

United Kingdom

Owner: William Grant & Sons
Creation: 2007
Ailsa Bay was built on Ladyburn's former site at the site of the Girvan Grain Distillery, owned by William Grant & Sons, who owns Glenfiddich and The Balvenie.
Increasing pressure on the latter two (who have a hard time supporting production) prompted William Grant & Sons to build the new distillery in 2007.
A first bottling was marketed in 2016. It is a whiskey without age and heavily peated.
