Whisky purchases a distillery site at
Drumguish, Kingussie, which is currently
occupied by the Speyside Distillery,
they plan to build a new distillery on
the site when the current tenant vacates
in Spring 2025.
Glasgow Whisky today unveiled expansion
plans for their Scotch whisky business
with the announcement that have
purchased Tromie Mills Distillery
Limited, owner of the site in Drumguish,
Kingussie, where the Speyside Distillery
is located which is renowned as one of the most
picturesque distillery sites in
Scotland.
Glasgow Whisky has confirmed that the
current tenant, Speyside Distillers,
will continue to operate from the
Drumguish site until their lease expires
in Spring 2025, with
Speyside Distillers announcing their own
plans to build a distillery earlier this year. The
refurbishment by Glasgow Whisky will
commence from Spring 2025, working with
suppliers from the local Speyside area.
The site is located in the magnificent Cairngorms
National Park and the new owners have
undertaken to commit significant
investment to build a contemporary, more
environmentally sustainable and energy
efficient distillery, whilst remaining
sympathetic to the heritage of the site
and maintaining the traditional and
established methods of distilling
quality single malt Scotch whisky.
Since being founded in 2007, Glasgow
Whisky has established influential
global credentials in both bulk exports
and branded cased sales. As the company
now ventures into purchasing its first
distillery site, owners Graham Taylor
and Stuart Hendry – who have over 70
years of combined industry experience –
are delighted at how the business is
evolving.
Graham commented: "The addition of a
distillery in Drumguish is an exciting
and natural progression as we continue
to build for the future. Since our
launch in 2007, we have seen significant
growth in all areas of our Scotch whisky
brands and products across the globe.
The distillery will enable us to add to
our portfolio and continue to supply our
clients around the world with quality
Scotch whisky.”
Stuart continued: "Our plans for the
distillery will give us the opportunity
to celebrate an established and known
site, whilst bringing it into the 21st
century in terms of distilling
innovation, sustainability and
production methods. We are extremely
excited to have this opportunity to
evolve our business."
