Okay folks, time for an original brain teaser created by yours truly.
Scotch whisky riddle. Find/name the distillery
Clues:
This distillery has a history involving something that chimes.
This distillery has 2 wash stills and 2 spirit stills.
It was originally built in 1871-2 and is still working.
It has 3 times 3 letters in its name.
It does not have a visitor's centre.
Replaced a distillery in the Toch........... area. (only part of area name provided).
Part of distillery name is a type of worm.
I'll post the answer to the riddle tomorrow afternoon. You can have multiple tries.
Try to do it without using Google as a helper.
Good luck!!!

| Tormore. Although there clock no longer chimes as it annoyed the hell out of them! But that was but in the 20th century so will have to think a bit harder!! |
