By 2013 the Scotch whisky industry was experiencing a period of booming demand for both blends and single malts, prompting hoards of companies to invest in either expanding capacity at their existing distilleries or building a new site altogether. For Chivas Brothers, the whisky and gin arm of French drinks group Pernod Ricard, a new distillery with the capability of supplying single malt whisky for its leading blends Chivas Regal, Ballantine’s and Royal Salute, was a no-brainer. With Imperial laying silent and in need of a hefty – and costly – refurbishment, Chivas took the decision to demolish the site and build a new super distillery in its place.

The build of Dalmunach was overseen by former Chivas Brothers production director Douglas Cruickshank, who rather aptly began his career in whisky at the age of 15 at the Imperial Distillery. Keen to preserve some of the character of his first place of work, Cruickshank ensured several of Imperial’s key design features were inherited by Dalmunach. Aberdeen red brick from the original mill building has been recycled for the new site’s entranceway, while wood from the distillery’s original washbacks has been used to clad the walls of the new tun room. The building itself has even been designed to complement the surrounding landscape and traditional architectural style of the region.

Of course the innovative Pernod Ricard was keen to pimp up Dalmunach with the latest tech, which includes heat recovery technology, 16 stainless steel washbacks, and eight stills arranged untraditionally in a circle to ‘provide a unique aesthetic for the future’.
