History
The Mortlach distillery was founded in 1823 by James Findlater in Dufftown, Banffshire. The Mortlach distillery was the first distillery in Dufftown, pre-dating the next one (Glenfiddich) by over four decades.
On the Third of April 2013, Diageo announced a project to "substantially increase the capacity of the Mortlach distillery at Dufftown".[3]
