It has been an eventful 200 and more years – what with changes of ownership, Prohibition and the search for a new water source – but we're still here, much to our small but loyal band of follower's delight.
Just 17 miles from Aberdeen in the very north-eastern tip of Scotland, Glen Garioch is the most easterly Scotch Whisky distillery not just in Scotland but the world. Precious few whisky travellers venture this far east in pursuit of the perfect dram, but those who do never turn back.
With an abundance of golden barley and fresh spring water, not to mention the motto 'Mean, speak and do well', the quaint and historic market town of Oldmeldrum provides a natural setting for a distillery that only bottles its best whisky, and only then at the very peak of perfection.
