Scope and Content Duty free warehouse no 9 from south, Mortlach Distillery, Dufftown, Moray Mortlach Distillery was established in 1823 by James Findlater, Alexander Gordon and Donald Mackintosh. It was restored in 1852 by John Gordon, and the number of stills increased from three to six in 1897. After various owners in the 1920s it was bought by Scottish Malt Distillers in 1930, and completely rebuilt in 1963. This shows the duty free warehouse where whisky is stored until it has matured. The rubble-built structure has external stairs which allow access to each floor, and barred windows to protect the valuable casks of spirit within. Whisky must be allowed to mature for at least three years before it can be called Scotch whisky. Mortlach was the first distillery to be built at Dufftown, and one of the first to take out a distilling licence after they were introduced in 1823, in an attempt to control and monitor the distilling industry.
