Did you know that the Balblair distillery has a long and somewhat shady history? Illicit distilling is believed to have been taking place for some time before the distillery was officially founded in 1790. The distillery has been rebuilt and relocated several times over the years, but it still retains control of its original water source – the Ault Dearg burn. Today, Balblair is a respected producer of high-quality single malt whisky, loved by connoisseurs all over the world.
