The Teaninich distillery was built in 1817 in the Highlands of Scotland by Captain Hugh Munroe, who inherited the estate in 1877 upon the death of his father, Royal Navy Captain James Munro, Laird of Teaninich. After passing through the hands of various owners, including the blenders Munro & Cameron in Elgin in 1895, Teaninich was sold to the Distillers Company Limited (DCL) in 1933. In the 1960s and 1970s, in a rapidly developing industry, it underwent various periods of expansion, with the replacement and then addition of new stills with a higher capacity, and the construction of a new distillery. The old distillery closed in 1984 in the midst of the Whisky Loch crisis. Teaninich primarily produced whisky for blends and only a handful of single malt bottlings can be found, either in the Rare Malts or Flora and Fauna range, or from independent bottlers.

A 12 year old single cask Teaninich (#TH619) distilled in 2006 and bottled at cask strength by Hidden Spirits in 2019. Hidden Spirits is an independent bottler founded in 2013 by Andrea Ferrari. It gained renown with several memorable bottlings of Bowmore, Clynelish and Ben Nevis, among others. Hidden Spirits also owns The Wild Parrot, a collection of rums selected by Stefano Cremaschi that has featured several famed editions of Caroni, Hampden and Demerara.
