Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Coord Шаблон:Infobox Scottish Distillery Dalmunach distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery located in Carron, in the whisky region of Speyside.[1][2][3] Built for the Chivas Regal blends, it is owned by the Chivas Brothers, a subsidiary of Pernod Ricard group.[1] The water source comes from the nearby Ballinom Burn, which originates in the Mannoch Hills.[1] The distillery is named for a nearby pool on the River Spey.[4] The distillery is located beside the Speyside Way and Moray Way, long-distance footpaths in the region.[5]

History

Work on the new distillery started in 2012.[2] The new distillery occupies part of the former site of the old Imperial distillery.[1] The distillery was officially opened in 2015 by Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland.[1][2][6] The distillery cost £25 million and consists of a modern design that won the Royal Institute of British Architects Award for Scotland in 2015.[2] The design is said to be inspired by the shape of a sheaf of barley.[2] The distillery was designed to be energy efficient, using renewable energy sources.[7][8]

In 2019, the MP Theresa Villiers visited the distillery while serving as Environment Secretary.[9] In 2021, the MP Douglas Ross, while serving as the Leader of the Scottish Conservatives, visited the distillery.[10]

Whisky

Much of the distillery's production is used as a component in the blending of Chivas Regal. The first single malt bottlings of the distillery were in 2019, with the release of a 4 year old single cask bottling.[4]

Facilities

The distillery is one of the largest in Scotland.[2] The distillery has a 12-tonne Briggs full Lauter mash tun.[1] There are 16 stainless steel washbacks and eight pot stills.[1] The spirit stills have an onion shape which pays respect to the former nearby Imperial distillery.[1] The distillery has a capacity of 10 million litres.[2]
