Background on Auchnagie Distillery: Built in 1812, the Auchnagie Distillery went through various owners until John Dewar & Sons acquired it in 1890. Auchnagie’s malt was a key component in Dewar’s blend, leading to its acquisition. However, the distillery's operations ceased in 1912 when John Dewar & Sons focused on their more accessible and expandable Aberfeldy Distillery. Though the distillery is no longer operational, remnants like the old reservoir and sluice gate remain as a testament to its history.
