About Glentauchers Distillery
Glentauchers distillery, situated in Mulben near Keith, has a storied past tracing back to its founding in 1897. Designed by John Alcock and supervised by Charles Doig & Son, the distillery began operating a year later through a collaboration involving James Buchanan Co. Ltd. and three members of Glentauchers Distillery Co.
While it experienced periods of closure, notably when mothballed by United Distillers in 1985 and later sold to Allied Distillers in 1989, Glentauchers remains operational today. Although its primary role is contributing whisky to blended varieties, it saw the release of an official 15-year-old bottling in 2000, preceded by a semi-official bottling by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1990s. Equipped with three spirit stills and three wash stills, the distillery has a production capacity of up to 4,500,000 litres of pure alcohol per year.
In the past, both the distillery and the adjacent hamlet of Tauchers were served by the Tauchers Platform railway station until 1964, with a freight siding once extending to the distillery site.

Glentauchers Whisky Cask Ownership - The Facts
Glentauchers 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.
