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.
