Distillery Notes Speyside distillery started to produce in 1990 but its history goes back to 1956 when George Christie acquired a piece of land near Kingussie. He commissioned dry stone dyker Alex Fairlie to hand build a distillery on the site, which work commenced in 1962. It took 28 years to complete the works, during which time the distillery changes ownership. The company was taken over two more times and is now owned by Harvey’s of Edinburgh International. In 2025 production ceased altogether, the buildings have been taken down and a new distillery (which will bear a different name) will arise about 20 miles from the current site. So, all Speyside single malts bottled by Saltire now come from a ‘lost’ distillery, which makes these expressions truly rare! Water source River Tromie Malt source Commercial maltsters.
