A substantial but low-profile Speyside distillery producing fresh, clean, floral Speyside for its owners’ blends, Glentauchers started life with two stills in 1898 but was expanded to its current six stills in the mid-1960s. After a long period under DCL ownership Glentauchers was purchased in 1989 by Allied Distillers (now owned by Pernod Ricard) and has been a keystone malt for Ballantine’s ever since. In 2020 it was revealed that Glentauchers would be switching to biofuel with the goal of attaining carbon neutrality.
Official bottlings of Glentauchers were practically non-existent until a few years ago but are now released under the Ballantine’s Series label. Gordon & MacPhail have been the de facto official bottlers for Glentauchers for decades, with licensed bottlings appearing in the Distillery Labels range and cask strength vintage editions in the Connoisseurs Choice and Private Collection series.
Iain Mackillop & Co. Ltd is a subsidiary of Angus Dundee Distillers, owners of the Glencadam and Tomintoul distilleries. Iain Mackillop & Co. was set up in 1998 and bottles single malt and grain whiskies for their Mackillop’s Choice range. The Mackillop’s Choice range is named after Angus Dundee’s Export Director and Master Blender (Iain) Lorne Mackillop MW, who selects the casks for bottling.
At the time of writing in 2022, MacKillop’s Choice had bottled over 450 whiskies, about half of which were cask strength single casks, with the remainder bottled at 43% or 46%. The company distinguished itself early with fine 1960s vintages of Longmorn and Glen Grant alongside 1980s gems from Linlithgow and Port Ellen; recent highlights have included 1990s vintages from Laphroaig, Ardbeg and Bowmore.
