Construction News Image
Marking the occasion of its 125th anniversary, Aultmore Distillery has announced a £15 million expansion plan, set to double its production capacity by spring 2024 as worldwide demand increases.

The expansion works include the addition of fermenters, pot-stills and infrastructure, and will also see a new heat-recovering system installed which will reduce the distillery's energy usage and carbon footprint.

Founded by local businessman and philanthropist, Alexander Edward, Aultmore Distillery produces well-loved single malt whisky, AULTMORE®, an award-winning brand that is now sold around the world.

Ross Bremner, Distillery Manager, Aultmore Distillery, said: "Aultmore Distillery has a long history and association with quality spirit, and the success of our single malt is a testament to those past and present who have played their part in crafting it. As we get started on our exciting expansion plans to increase production, it's an honour for those of us here today to play an integral part in the future of this beautiful whisky."

The Bacardi portfolio of single malt whiskies, which includes AULTMORE, ABERFELDY®, ROYAL BRACKLA®, THE DEVERON® and CRAIGELLACHIE® is particularly popular in Asia, where it has grown 30% over the last five years.

A family-owned spirits company with more than 160 years of history, Bacardi operates five distilleries across Scotland – Aultmore, Aberfeldy, Royal Brackla, Craigellachie, and Macduff – producing DEWAR'S® and WILLIAM LAWSON'S® Blended Scotch whiskies, alongside its five Single Malts. The company nurtures and respects the heritage of each, to produce top quality drinks which are rooted in the traditions of the local areas.

Niall Mitchell, VP Supply Chain, Western Europe, Australia & New Zealand, Bacardi, said: "We have an incredibly skilled and innovative team here in Scotland and we are so proud of the success of the whisky portfolio we produce. As more and more people around the world discover and fall in love with these drinks, we are investing in their growth for the long-term."
