History
The distillery commenced production in 1897, and its spirit was immediately ranked ‘Top Class’ by blenders, leading to a doubling of capacity within one year. It is rumoured that, when Bacardi bought John Dewar & Sons – of which Aultmore is a main component – from Diageo, the deal rested firmly upon the inclusion of Aultmore Distillery, which stands as testament to its incredible quality! As a result of its popularity for blending, it was rarely seen as a single malt until very recently.
