Auchroisk Distillery

Built in 1972 Auchroisk and production began in 1974. It was first bottled as single malt in 1986 and was the first to carry the prefix ‘Singleton’, a name now attached to single malts from Glen Ord, Glendullan and Dufftown.

In 1997 the distillery became part of Diageo following the merger of Grand Metropolitan and Guinness.

Although somewhat remote, the large tracts of land surrounding the distillery make this the ideal site for one of Diageo’s main northern warehousing complexes.
