About the Producer Moffat

Garnheath was a grain distillery located in the Moffat complex in the Lowlands. Although it was operational for only 22 years, it was particularly productive in an era in which the grain and blend industry was in the midst of a boom. Then reserved for blends, Garnheath whisky was only bottled as a single grain by independent bottlers many years later.
