Ardmore

Speyside (Deveron) founded in 1898 - first Society bottling in 1989

It was built by Teachers close to the Aberdeen - Inverness railway, in the shadow of Knockandy Hill, to supply fillings for their famous blends. Originally it had two stills, but this number was doubled twice, in 1955 and 1974, and it is now one of the largest distilleries in Scotland. Yet the malt has never been bottled by its proprietor, so is not generally known.
