Dalwhinnie

In the village of Dalwhinnie, near the Drumochter Pass in the Central Highlands. It was founded in 1898 as the Strathspey Distillery and renamed Dalwhinnie the same year. At around 326 metres above sea level, it is regarded as one of the highest distilleries in Scotland.

It passed to an American company in 1905, returned to Scottish ownership in 1919 and joined the Distillers Company in 1926. It is now owned by Diageo.

Its water comes from Lochan an Doire-uaine. It condenses its spirit in traditional worm tubs, which were removed for a time and reinstated in 1995. Since the late 1980s it has been one of the Classic Malts.
