Mortlach distillery was founded
in 1823 by James Findlater and his two
partners Donald McIntosh and Alexander
Gordon. It and was the first of Dufftown's
seven whisky distilleries, the second
was Glenfiddich, which was founded by
William Grant who had been production
manager at Mortlach. In 1852 the
distillery was reopened by John Gordon
after a few silent years, then in 1854
Gordon took on George Cowie as a
partner, creating John Gordon & Co. Cowie became the sole owner when John
Gordon died in 1867. The stills were
doubled from 3 to 6 in 1897. In 1923
the Cowie family sold the distillery to
John Walker & Sons.
In 1964 the distillery was completely
rebuilt, but the old stills were used.
They ceased using the malting floors in
1968, and the production was
computerised in the late 1990's. Today
John Walker & Sons has been integrated
into United Distillers & Vintners and
Mortlach is still an important component
of the Johnnie Walker blends.
Mortlach makes an excellent after dinner
malt and if you are a Macallan fan the
excellent Mortlach Flora & Fauna
bottling is definitely one for you to
try.
