Dalmunach distillery
Dalmunach distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery located in Carron in the whisky region of Speyside. The distillery was built for the Chivas Regal blends and owned by the Chivas Brothers subsidiary of Pernod Ricard group. The water source comes from the nearby Ballinom Burn, which originates in the Mannoch Hills. The distillery is named for a nearby pool on the River Spey. The distillery is located beside the Speyside Way and Moray Way, long-distance footpaths in the region. History
Work on the new distillery started in 2012. The new distillery occupies part of the former site of the old Imperial distillery. The distillery was officially opened in 2015 by Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland. The distillery cost £25 million and consists of a modern design that won the Royal Institute of British Architects Award for Scotland in 2015. The design is said to be inspired by the shape of a sheaf of barley. The distillery was designed to be energy efficient, using renewable energy sources. In 2019, the MP Theresa Villiers visited the distillery while served as Environment Secretary. In 2021, the MP Douglas Ross while serving as the Leader of the Scottish Conservatives visited the distillery. Whisky
