Notes:
The distillery has an incredibly fascinating history dating back to 1824 enduring fire, bombing and explosions before finally falling silent in 1983. In 1877 a fire completely destroyed the distillery, leaving only the maltings and warehouses untouched. Over the next 5 months, rapid rebuilding was undertaken and by October the distillery was back in full operation, with the addition of their own private fire engine permanently situated on the premises. During World War II, the barley lofts were used for the soldiers and Nissen huts were built on site. On the 16th August 1941, Warehouse No. 12 was bombed by a single German Junkers Ju-88 bomber resulting in exploding casks of spirit which left ducks, geese and other farmland animals drunk, cows were unable to stand up and missed a day of milking. After the war on 3rd October 1959, a coppersmith brazing caused a dangerous explosion. Luckily there were no injuries but much of the distillery was damaged. The distillery continued production until 1983 until its clOsure on the 31 May.
