Scope and Content Glentauchers Distillery, Moray This shows the distillery from the north-west, seen from an Aberdeen-Inverness train. The malt barns and kilns, whose ventilators can just be seen, are part of the original distillery, though closed since 1968. The building with the sawtooth roof is a maturing warehouse. This distillery, like most of those built in the whisky boom, was designed to be rail-served. By 1971 it was owned by The Distillers' Company, who closed it in 1985 and later sold it to Allied Distillers. Rail traffic ceased in the 1960s. This distillery was originally built in 1898 for the Glentauchers Distillery Co Ltd, which was owned by W P Lowrie & Co Ltd, whisky blenders, and James Buchanan & Co Ltd, whose Black & White whisky Lowries blended. It was finished just before the collapse of the whisky boom of the late 1890s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
