Dufftown

Scotland / Speyside · Founded 1896

A Diageo distillery in the Speyside town of Dufftown, making nutty, malty whisky as one of the Singleton single malts.

History & character

Located in Dufftown, Speyside. Peter Mackenzie and partners converted an old mill, completing the distillery in 1896.

In 1933 it was bought by the Perth blenders Arthur Bell & Sons and long supplied spirit for Bell's. After Bell's was acquired by Guinness in 1985, it passed into what is now Diageo.

Since 2006 it has been one of the three Singleton single malts, alongside Glen Ord and Glendullan, with the Dufftown version aimed mainly at the UK and Europe.
