Macduff
Distillery producing the Deveron malt.
Auldtown distillery
Highland single malt Scotch whisky
Auldtown distillery was likely at or near Auldtown of Carnousie, a farm in Forglen parish, midway between Turriff and Aberchirder. It is also highly likely to have been beside the burn that flowed from Auldtown Hill, down through the estate, toward the River Deveron.
Auldtown History
Auldtown had two brief spells of life during the years 1816-26, with an eight-year gap in between. The site’s first licensee was George Gellie Jr., who was followed by George Gellie. Whether this was one man, or father and son, is not known.
