Founded in the late 1960s by Mackinlay, a subsidiary of Scottish & Newcastle Breweries, the distillery was bought by Invergordon Distillers in 1985, Campbell Distillers in 1989 and then Billy Walker in 2017. It was under the latter that the distillery began releasing its own bottlings of single malts, with previous owners preferring to focus on blends. In addition to the new core range composed of a 10 Year Old Cask Strength, a 12 Year Old, 15 Year Old and 18 Year Old, the distillery also regularly bottles limited editions and single casks.

A 25 year old single cask Glenallachie (bourbon barrel #7665589) distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2017. The Single Malts of Scotland range was created in 2005 by Elixir Distillers (formerly Speciality Drinks), the independent bottler founded by The Whisky Exchange in 1999. It features single casks and small batch bottlings. Elixir Distillers’’ other ranges include Elements of Islay and Port Askaig. A limited edition of 188 bottles for La Maison du Whisky, a whisky and fine spirits importer and distributor founded by Georges Bénitah in 1956.
