Glenallachie is in the heart of Speyside, near Aberlour. A dam that looks like
a village pond and a small waterfall soften the exterior of what is otherwise
a functional modern distillery. It was built in 1967 primarily to contribute
malt to the Mackinlay blends, at that time owned by Scottish and Newcastle
Breweries. In 1985 the distillery and the Mackinlay business was acquired by
Invergordon. The distillery was temporarily closed in the late 1980s but
acquired and reopened by Campbell at the end of the decade. It is pronounced
"Glen-alec-y".
