One of many lost distilleries in Argyll that was operational briefly in the 18th century.
Balnaketoch distillery
Highland single malt Scotch whisky
Also known as Barnakitto, Balnaketoch was an obscure Perthshire distillery, operated by the same family for a short few years in the early 19th century.
Sadly, its precise location is unknown.
Balnaketoch History
Balnaketoch distillery was opened in 1818 by John Porteous, who was sequestrated two years later. The distillery licence was passed to David Porteous senior and Co., although John was back in control of the operation just six years later.
Sadly he couldn’t make a go of it, and the operation shut down a short time after.
