Distillery Information

Speyburn is one of the most beautiful, enigmatic, and underrated distilleries in Speyside, and indeed Scotland, somewhat paradoxically for one of the biggest-selling single malts in the US. Speyburn dates back to 1897. Brothers John and Edward Hopkins, as well as cousin Edward Broughton, spent 17,000 to found the site, enlisting renowned distillery architect Charles C. Doig (responsible for 56 Scotch whisky distilleries, no less). Whisky production actually started before the build was complete in order to produce whisky to mark Queen Victorias Jubilee year. A severe blizzard and no windows didnt stop the employees, who just worked in heavy coats. Perhaps someone should have told Queen Vic what they went through for her. We might be talking about Royal Speyburn today. Speyburn, like most distilleries, has changed hands a few times. First John Hopkins and Company, doing business as the Speyburn-Glenlivet Distillery Company, ran the distillery from 1897 through 1916. Then Distillers Company Ltd (DCL) took over, running Speyburn until 1962, surviving closures between 1930 and 1934 as well as 1939 to 1947. Scotch Malt Distillers (SMD) then held the reins, then United Distillers followed from 1986 to 1991 before Inver House Distillers acquired Speyburn. Inver House is now global drinks business International Beverage (IB).
