Scope and Content Auchroisk Distillery, Mulben, Banffshire (Moray council area) This distillery was built by International Distillers and Vintners as a showpiece distillery, flagship of their Scotch Whisky business. It was the largest malt whisky distillery built in the 1970s. This view shows the large modern malt mill, with cleaning machine in the background. Despite its streamlined appearance this still crushed the malt between pairs of steel rollers in the conventional way. IDV were taken over by Watney Mann, and then by Grand Metropolitan Hotels in 1975. In 1998 IDV amalgamated with United Distillers to form United Distillers and Vintners, a subsidiary of the Diageo Corporation. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
