The Glentauchers Distillery
was established in 1898 by the Glentauchers Distillery Company
which was a joint venture between James Buchanan, of the Buchanan blends and WP Lowrie, a Glasgow
stockholder who had supplied Buchanan
from the beginning. In 1925 James Buchanan & Company became part of the DCL
group. With exception to the war-time
years the distillery operated continuously, until 1985 when it
was mothballed by UDV who had taken
control of DCL.
In 1989 UDV sold it to
Allied Distillers who had the distillery back in
production in less than a year. Glentauchers
is now a key component in Blends Scotch
such as Black & White, Ballantines and
Teachers Highland Cream. Almost 100% of
the Glentauchers malt produced goes into
blends, but you can still find some
single malt bottlings from independents
such as Gordon & MacPhail. There has
also been an original bottling limited
release of a Glentauchers 15 Year Old
Single malt.
