Auchenblae distillery was a scotch whisky distillery in Auchenblae, Kincardine, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. [1] [2] [3]
The distillery was created in 1895 in the former buildings of a spinning mill (itself built in 1795) beside Luther Water. [1] The design of the new distillery facilities was carried out by Charles C. Doig. [1] This included the building of a damn across the Luther Water, the fitting of a water-driven turbine generator for electricity and a new iron bridge to enable horse-drawn carts to reach the distillery. [1] The distillery went into liquidation in 1916 and was acquired by Macdonlad Greenlees, Williams Ltd, before finally closing in 1930. [1]
While many of the distillery buildings have been demolished, the hydroelectric turbine remains as does a pagoda roof building in the village centre on Burnett Street. [1] [4] [5] [6]
