Last updated
Dalmunach distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery in Carron, Speyside, owned by Chivas Brothers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard. Built for Chivas Regal blends, it draws water from the Ballinom Burn in the Mannoch Hills and is named after a pool on the River Spey. The distillery sits beside the Speyside Way and Moray Way long-distance footpaths.
History
Work on the distillery began in 2012 on part of the former Imperial distillery site. The £25 million modern design, inspired by a sheaf of barley, won the Royal Institute of British Architects Award for Scotland in 2015. The distillery was designed for energy efficiency using renewable sources.
