Teaninich

Teaninich Distillery keeps good company, being situated near Alness, north of the Cromarty Firth, along the road from Dalmore distillery and not too far from one of Scotland’s few grain distilleries, Invergordon. It was founded in 1817 and extended in both 1899 and in 1970.

A new still house was added and much like at Craigellachie Distillery the stills are visible from the road. It was the first distillery north of Inverness to be fitted with electricity and one of the first to have telephonic communication between the Proprietor's residence and the quarters of the Excise Officers.

The distillery closed in 1985 but has since reopened with modern mashing facilities installed at the start of this century. This gives the spirit a lightness which is rarely seen in Highland distilling.
