Ballindalloch Distillery

Ballindalloch Distillery is a family-owned single malt whisky distillery located on the historic Ballindalloch Estate in Speyside, Scotland. The distillery, often referred to as one of Scotland’s smallest distilleries, began production in 2014 and has set its stall out to create Scotch whisky in a traditional, manner that favours quality and craftsmanship over large-scale production. Despite producing for over a decade, releases have not been thick and fast as the distillery prefers to wait for its whisky to be just right before it’s launched into the market. It’s an approach that a lot of whisky lovers appreciate. Although Ballindalloch’s whiskies are still relatively new, the distillery has quickly gained attention for its dedication to producing high-quality, traditional Speyside single malts. Ballindalloch uses locally grown barley from the estate and pure water sourced from the surrounding hills, ensuring that their whisky is deeply connected to the local terroir. The distillation process takes place in copper pot stills, and the whisky is matured in carefully selected oak casks to develop complex, rich flavours.
