Balmenach Distillery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Balmenach Distillery was established in 1824 by a family of smugglers called Macgregor who resided in Tomintoul. Situated in the district of Cromdale on the banks of the River Spey the distillery stands in beneath the nearby hill of Tom Lethendry where the Jacobites were defeated in battle in 1690.

Balmenach Distillery is one of the earliest distilleries sanctioned as a result of The Excise Act of 1823.

The Distillery is owned by Inver House Distillers Limited, a privately owned distiller whose other distilleries include: The Speyburn-Glenlivet Distillery; Knockdhu Distillery; Balblair Distillery; and, Old Pulteney Distillery.
