Wine for sale: Teaninich

Teaninich

The Teaninich distillery was built in 1817 in the Highlands of Scotland by Captain Hugh Munroe, who inherited the estate in 1877 upon the death of his father, Royal Navy Captain James Munro, Laird of Teaninich. After passing through the hands of various owners, including the blenders Munro & Cameron in Elgin in 1895, Teaninich was sold to the Distillers Company Limited (DCL) in 1933. In the 1960s and 1970s, in a rapidly developing industry, it underwent various periods of expansion, with the replacement and then addition of new stills with a higher capacity, and the construction of a new distillery. The old distillery closed in 1984 in the midst of the Whisky Loch crisis. Teaninich primarily produced whisky for blends and only a handful of single malt bottlings can be found, either in the Rare Malts or Flora and Fauna range, or from independent bottlers.
