About the Distillery:
The original Clynelish distillery was built in 1819, adjacent to the present operational Clynelish distillery, which was built in 1967. When Clynelish first started distilling, in the years 1820-1822, they were producing around 12,000 gallons per year. Over the years the distillery passed from owner to owner, until the distillery expanded around 1896, and was upped to around 580,000 litres. This was when they added an extra warehouses on site. in the 1960s, more and more of Clynelish's spirit was going into the blends, and in the 1960s there was a boom and people were buying more luxury items such as cars and whisky. So they needed to up their production levels. So in 1967 they built the current distillery in which they produce today.
