About Dalmunach Distillery
Dalmunach distillery, nestled in Carron, is a Scotch whisky distillery built for the renowned Chivas Regal blends. Owned by the Chivas Brothers, the distillery draws its water from the nearby Ballinom Burn, originating in the Mannoch Hills, and derives its name from a pool on the River Spey.
Situated alongside the Speyside Way and Moray Way footpaths, the distillery’s construction commenced in 2012, occupying part of the former site of the Imperial distillery. Officially opened in 2015, the distillery’s modern design, inspired by a sheaf of barley, earned it the Royal Institute of British Architects Award for Scotland in 2015. Designed with energy efficiency in mind, it utilises renewable energy sources.
Primarily contributing to Chivas Regal blends, the distillery unveiled its first single malt bottlings in 2019, including a 4-year-old single cask release. Boasting impressive facilities, it houses a 12-tonne Briggs full Lauter mash tun, 16 stainless steel washbacks, and eight pot stills, with onion-shaped spirit stills paying homage to the former Imperial distillery. With a capacity of 10 million litres, Dalmunach stands as one of Scotland’s largest distilleries.

Dalmunach Whisky Cask Ownership - The Facts
Dalmunach is a renowned distillery located in Scotland with a rich heritage in producing fine whiskies. The rarity and quality of their products makes them desirable to collectors and enthusiasts, only increasing their value over time.
Whisky typically gains value as it ages and matures in the cask. The longer it remains in the cask, the more it has the potential to develop complexity and depth of flavors. We offer cask purchase programs that allow you to select the type of cask and aging duration, providing you with control over the maturation process.
Buying a cask allows you to own a unique piece of Bladnoch’s Kirkcowan Spirit production and a part of Bladnoch’s history. As the availability of aged and limited-edition whiskies decreases over time, the scarcity of these bottles can drive up their value.
Whisky has experienced growing popularity worldwide, particularly with the rise of collectors and investors seeking alternative assets. If the demand for premium Scotch whisky remains strong or continues to increase, it could positively impact the investment potential of your Kirkcowan Spirit (Bladnoch) cask. Recently we have seen the price of a standard bottle of Bladnoch rise from £40 to £80.
