About Glendullan

At the end of the 19th century, there were already six distilleries in the town of Dufftown. For the blender company William Williams & Sons from Aberdeen, this was not enough. So in 1897 they built another distillery called Glendullan. The distillery is located on the river Fiddich just outside Dufftown. The name comes from the small river “Dullan Water” that flows nearby. Glendullan did very well from the start and was purveyor to the court of King Edward VII from 1902. And for years has been the most important supplier of the malt for the famous blended whisky Old Parr. After extensive renovations in 1962, a new distillery was built next to the old one in 1972. This building looks more like an office or school than a distillery with a flat roof and very large windows. The two distilleries worked together as a tandem at the time, the spirit was combined and used for blending. In 1985 the old distillery was dismantled and the new one now houses eight washbacks made of wood from Russia. The three wash stills and three spirit stills are heated by steam. Sherry, bourbon and refill casks are used for maturing the malt. For whisky production and for cooling the condensers, water is taken from the river Fiddich. The Glendullan distillery is one of Diageo's largest distilleries and cannot be visited.
