Histoire du domaine
Mortlach was founded in 1823 on the site of a former illicit distillery and became the first legally established distillery in Dufftown. John Gordon became its sole owner in 1852. The engineer George Cowie then joined the company in 1853 and subsequently took control of it. His son Alexander Cowie succeeded him and introduced the complex distillation process known as ‘2.81 times distilled’, which remains associated with Mortlach’s technical identity, as well as the use of external coil condensers. In 1897, the distillery expanded from three to six stills and gained a railway siding. The Cowie family sold Mortlach to John Walker & Sons in 1923. The distillery subsequently passed through The Distillers Company Limited and then United Distillers before being incorporated into the Diageo group, its current owner. Mortlach is a whisky distillery and not a wine estate: it therefore does not own any vineyards, and the role of cellar master, as understood in the wine industry, does not apply there.
