Linkwood distillery was founded in 1821
by Peter Brown. After Brown’s death his
son, William, took over and established
a very good reputation for the
distillery. William totally rebuilt the
distillery in the 1870s. The distillery
was taken over bt D.C.L. in 1936 and
like other distilleries closed during
the war due to a shortage of barley. One of the
managers in the 1930s was so paranoid
that every single thing played its part in
the making of the whisky, that he
ordered that
nothing, not even a cobweb should be
removed. He would have been dismayed in 1962 when
the distillery layout was radically
altered and in 1971 when Linkwood whisky
production was tripled with the addition
of a second
distilling unit with two pairs of stills
which was built alongside the 2 original
Linkwood stills.
Only 2% of
the malt produced at Linkwood is sold as single malt,
the remaining malt goes into the popular
UDV blends such as Bells, White Horse
and Haig.
