Scope and Content Glen Grant Distillery, Rothes, Morayshire This distillery was founded in 1840 by John and James Grant, from Aberlour Distillery. It remained independent until 1953 when it amalgamated with the Glenlivet distillery, and is now part of the Seagram empire, which was for sale at the end of 2000. This view shows the interior of the old stillhouse. The four stills were all of different sizes and shapes. Here the two spirit stills are in the middle, with wash stills at each end. The large wash still at the far end had a unique shape. To preserve the character of the whisky the eight new stills added in 1973-77 were the same sizes and shapes as these ones, though they were gas-fired. The old stillhouse was demolished in the 1980s.
