He commissioned dry stone dyker Alex Fairlie to hand build a distillery on the site, which work commenced in 1962. It took 28 years to complete the works, during which time the distillery changes ownership. The company was taken over two more times and is now owned by Harvey’s of Edinburgh International.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025 production will cease altogether, the buildings will be taken down and a new distillery (which will bear a different name) will arise about 20 miles from the current site. So, all Speyside single malts bottled by Saltire will come from a ‘lost’ distillery, which makes these expressions truly Rare!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater source\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiver Tromie\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMalt source\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommercial maltsters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCapacity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e600,000 litres of alcohol per annum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKingussie, Highlands\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f585dda elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f585dda\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"elementor-widget-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very tasty and full bodied dram from a lost distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA slightly tannic top note followed by aromas of cherries, cedarwood, poached pears in red wine, covered with walnut shavings.
