Scope and Content Knockando Distillery, Knockando, Moray Knockando Distillery was built in 1898 by the Knockando-Glenlivet Distillery Co at the end of the 1890s distillery boom. It was situated beside the Great North of Scotland Railway's Strathspey line. In 1904 it was bought by W and A Gilbey Ltd. This view shows the interior of the tun room with the contents of a wash-back (fermenting vessel) being tested to determine the stage fermentation has reached, using a hydrometer. The sampling container is to the right. Gilbeys became part of International Distillers and Vintners, which was absorbed by United Distillers in 1997. Knockando is a focal point for marketing, and the base for a whisky-tasting school. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
