Teaninich

Teaninich is a Highland distillery used as a workhorse by Diageo to produce malt for its blends – principally Johnnie Walker, but also Vat 69 and Haig. Built in 1817, Teaninich has been owned by Distiller’s Company Litd (DCL, later to become part of Diageo) since the 1930s. Teaninich was expanded in 1970 with the addition of a building housing six new stills, referred to thereafter as the ‘A side’. The original four stills then became known as the ‘B side’, which continued to run until 1984, when it was mothballed.
