Distillery Information

The distillery was founded by John and Thomas McClelland in 1817 and during the period 1823 - 1826 produced 28,956 imperial gallons (131,640 L) of whisky, an average of 7,239 imperial gallons (32,910 L) per annum, and in the year 1826 - 1827 this had risen to 9,792 imperial gallons (44,520 L).Most people naturally assume that “single malt” means just that – a single whisky from a single barrel. In fact, what a Scottish “single malt” actually means is that it is only malt whisky, prepared in the traditional way, and produced by a single distillery in Scotland.
It is unusual for a Lowland Whisky that it is double distilled and that sometimes peated malt is used in the production. All in all the Whiskies from Bladnoch are very interesting as they have a lot of variety.
To glance at Glen Marnoch's distinguished looking bottle you would think it comes from one of Scotland's many established distilleries, but it is in fact an own brand label for supermarket chain Aldi. Produced by an as yet undisclosed Speyside distillery, it's a fine effort with hints of nuts, orange and biscuits.
