Cadenhead’s Bottlers

Scotland’s Oldest Independent Bottlers, Campbeltown. The firm of William Cadenhead Limited, Wine and Spirit Merchants, was founded in 1842 and later taken over by a Campbeltown firm of J & A Mitchell & Co. Ltd who own Springbank Distillery. The premises were in Netherkirkgate in Aberdeen and almost unaltered during their 130 years of trading in Aberdeen.

William Cadenhead passed away on 11th December 1904 and succeeded by his nephew Robert W. Duthie, son of Robert Duthie – Superintendent of the Scottish Orphanage in Bombay. He developed what the firm was most famous for, namely single malt Scotch Whisky and Demerara Rum.

In 1931, during the depression, the business was in financial trouble. Sadly, Mr Duthie while on his way to a meeting with his bank manager was unfortunately run over by a tram car while attempting to cross the road. Miss Ann Oliver took charge of the business who had been with William Cadenhead Limited a long time but retired and because no-one knew how to run the business the stock ended up for sale in an auction
The business was sold to J & A Mitchell & Co Ltd, the proprietors of Springbank Distillery.

Today Cadenheads is well known with shops in Campbeltown, Edinburgh, London and several in Europe. More than 175 years have now passed since began then and continues to progress.
