About Mortlach
Mortlach holds the title as the first legal distillery in Dufftown, the now prominent whisky town in Scotland’s Speyside region. It was founded in 1823 on the site of an formerly illicit distillery and remained the only whisky producer in Dufftown until Glenfiddich came along in 1887. Glenfiddich founder, William Grant, gained much of his experience working at Mortlach for over 20 years prior to making his own start.
In 1923 the Mortlach distillery was acquired by John Walker & Sons and they began consuming the majority of production for their blends. Mortlach continues to supply much of their production for use in Johnnie Walker products, official single malt releases constitute only a small part of their operations.
