Speyside Distillery - A lost distillery
Latest news from Speyside Distillery.
Shhhh... Keep the secret!
As a valued customer, we wanted to share some important news with you.
Speyside Distillers Company will relocate in 2025 to a newly acquired Highland estate and will operate under a different distillery name. Consequently, all the whisky produced at Speyside Distillery up to 2025 will be classed as whisky-distillate from a lost distillery after 2025.
In the current Scotch whisky industry, this position is quite unique. It makes whisky from Speyside Distillery - a lost distillery - extremely rare

SCOTLAND'S NEXT LOST DISTILLERY
In the News!
During the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival launch event in May 2025, our CEO John Harvey McDonough announced that Speyside Distillery will become Scotland’s next lost distillery.
The move is driven by the need to expand. The new home at Strathmashie by Laggan is currently in planning, and once built, production will resume under a different name. In the meantime, existing whisky stocks will be placed into storage for further maturation, with future releases available on allocation only.
SPEYSIDE DISTILLERY ON ALLOCATION
Speyside Distillery’s multi award-winning single malt Scotch whiskies will live on.
However, rapidly growing global demand means the distillery is now allocating whisky supplies to ensure key customers can continue to enjoy some of the most desirable whisky in the entire industry.
WHAT IS A LOST DISTILLERY?
Lost distilleries are defined by Whiskipedia as distilleries that ceased production either due to economic factors and political pressure, or - more rarely - because of insurmountable technical issues, such as water problems.
Famous examples include Rosebank, Dallas Dhu, and Millburn, whose whiskies now fetch significant prices at auction.
Due to expansion needs, Speyside Distillery now joins this rare group as Scotland’s next lost distillery.
