VisitingGlendullan is not normally open to the public, but I was able to tour it as part of the 7 Stills Tour during the Spirit of Speyside Festival in 2008. Unfortunately, it was still not possible to take any pictures inside the distillery.
Vital Stats
Glendullan Distillery is on the banks of the River Fiddich on the B9014, which by-passes Dufftown. The Dullan Water which gives the distillery its name flows into the Fiddich a few hundred yards from the distillery just by the junction of the A941 and B9014.
Like Clynelish, Glendullan was rebuilt and expanded during the Whisky boom of the 60s and 70s, and also like Clynelish the old and new distilleries worked side by side for a few years. Unlike Clynelish the output of the two distilleries was blended together, but ultimately the old distilleries on both sites shared the same fate - closure.
