The distillery has been founded in 1975 by Seagram (Chivas and Glenlivet group) to produce whisky needed for the blends of the group.
The first distilling took place in 1975, and the production capacity has been doubled in 1990.
It is a hi-tech distillery, and the whole process is conducted by just one person. This is possible because everything in the distillery is situated on the same level.
When the whisky is distilled, it is transported by tanker lorry to warehouses in Keith where it is transferred in casks and matured.
The production is used for the blends of the group: Chivas Regal, Passport, Something Special et 100 Pipers. It is not marketed as single malt, with some rare exceptions, like Ian McLeod who sells it.
