Dalmunach Distillery Opens

[William]

Chivas Brothers has completed the construction of its new Speyside malt whisky distillery, the new Dalmunach Distillery which will have a massive 10 million litre capacity was constructed on the site of the now demolished Imperial Distillery.



Whisky fans had wondered if the new distillery would carry the Imperial name, today that question has been answered, it looks like Imperial has gone forever so if you have any bottlings of Imperial whisky in the back of your whisky cabinet they just might have accumulated a little more value today.

The Dalmunach Distillery will produce a Speyside malt whisky with a rich, fruity character, a vital ingredient for Chivas Brothers blended Scotch whiskies. Sadly the Dalmunach distillery will not be open to visitors but will be visible from the nearby Speyside Way walking trail.

I wonder why they didnt use the Imperial name. Sounds like it will just be feeding the Chivas blends.

I wonder why they didnt keep the Imperial name as i am sure they would have been within their rights to have retained the name, especially as they replicated the stills from the Imperial distillery.

It does look good in the video and i like the way they have positioned the stills in a circle.

It is a shame they arent opening the doors to visitors, perhaps an indication that they have no immediate plans to release a Dalmenach single malt.

Always good to see a new distillery but at my age you wonder if you will be around to experience a 20 or 30 year old Dalmunach single malt, i doubt i will be around for a 40 year old unless there is a break through in medical science . As long as they put some in a decent sherry cask and release it at 10 to 20 years i reckon God willing i will still be around to give it a go.
