Notes
Longest fermentation time of any distillery - 160 hours
Very small stock due partly to regular closures and partly due to the fact that the distillery was often run part time by staff from Highland Park
Pernod are currently investing heavily in the brand
During a fire in 1919, sailors stationed there formed a human bucket chain down to the sea to help put the fire out
One of the first distilleries to install steam jackets round the stills
