Vital Stats
Dalmunach has been built on the site of the former Imperial distillery, which closed in 1998. The site was bought by Pernod Ricard in 2005, but they did nothing with the it until October 2012 when they announced that they were planning to build a new distillery on the site. The new distillery has considerably larger capacity than the former Imperial.
Some materials from the Imperial Distillery have een incorporated into the new buildings. Malt Madness scotchwhisky.com SMWS |
