Auchroisk Distillery was completed as recently as 1974, and much of its distinct character is used to create the signature taste of many blended whiskies. Auchroisk is light, fresh and citrusy; qualities attributed to the water used in production, drawn from a local spring known as Dorie's Well.

Built in 1896 and it was completely refurbished in the 1970s, and was mainly used to create for blended malts. The character of its single malts, now finally being given an official release, shows what the blenders have been keeping to themselves for all these years. In character, Aultmore is fragrant on the nose, substantial on the tongue.

The history of distilling on the Ballindalloch Estate dates back to the 1820’s. In 2011 they began construction of a malt whisky distillery in a 19th century farm steading, making it Scotland’s only whisky distillery to operate within a castle’s grounds and production officially began in late 2014. They have committed to waiting at least eight years before bottling any of Ballindalloch’s whisky, so their Single Malt Whisky is not ready but will be avalible in the future.

BenRiach Distillery was built in 1898 and is located in the 'heart' of Speyside. Their independent ownership allows the distillery to experiment with several interesting wood finishes and it continues to produce whisky from both peated and non-peated malted barley. Fruit is at the heart of the Benriach character, manifesting itself as pears and peaches with an added aromatic top note.

Benrinnes Distillery was first founded sometime in the 1820s built on the edge of Ben Rinnes Mountain. After being destoryed in a flood it was rebuilt in the 1950s. Benrinnes has been adding the sherry-like qualities to blends for over half a century, and its expressions are unpeated.
