This material is kept up to date and as factually accurate as possible. It
does however rely on supplied references and personal accounts which though
reproduced in good faith cannot always be checked. If the facts are important
to you, check with the original sources
The principal reference for the material on individual distilleries is
"The Malt Whisky Companion" - Michael Jackson [Dorling Kindersley 1991]. This
is one of the definitive modern texts on malt whisky and the main inspiration
behind this work. The book contains many numerous tasting notes and background
information beyond the extracts reproduced here and is a "must" for anyone
seriously interested in malt whisky.
All quotations from his book are reproduced here for viewing on the Web with
permission and are flagged with his full name. These items are
Copyright Michael Jackson 1989, 1991, 1994.
Other than for viewing on the Web,
no part of this material may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or
transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying

Additional citations and
paraphrasing are flagged "[mj]". I have edited some of the quotations to
exploit the medium of hypertext.

Text and numerous photographs are reproduced with permission from
"Distilleries of Moray: An illustrated survey by Mike Seton"
(Moray District Libraries, 1980; no ISBN). Further details can be found in the
photograph credits. I am indebted to Mike Seton
for allowing me the use of over 40 original distillery photographs from his
collection.
Andy Sutherland lists among his hobbies:
"visiting distilleries, tasting malt and collecting rare bottles of single
malt". I am indebted to him for making available some of his excellent
collection of distillery photos (and pamphlets, which I have raided for numerous
details in the distillery accounts).
