This distillery once boasted its own railway line which was linked to the main Highland Railway Company line. At one point the distillery was converted into a flour mill and when distillation returned to the premises it was with stills that were, “the most improved and modern style” according to Alfred Barnard. Unfortunately, the distillery was another victim of the 1983 cull and today there is no whisky production left in the city of Inverness.
Although Direct Wines are the world’s largest mail-order wine retailer operating in the UK, France and the New World regions, the company also provides independent whisky bottlings. The most well-known of their ranges is perhaps the First Cask series showcasing single cask whiskies bottled at 46% ABV from a wide variety of distilleries. As with their wines, customers can order a mixed case of whiskies in order to enjoy different spirits. Signatory provide the whiskies, so Direct Wines definitely have a range to choose from. The blended Old Harry malt whisky is also produced by the company.
