Glasgow Whisky, has today announced that it has acquired Tromie Mills Distillery Limited, as part of plans to expand its global whisky business.

Located in the Cairngorms National Park, the new owners have undertaken to commit significant investment to build a contemporary, more environmentally sustainable and energy efficient distillery, whilst remaining sympathetic to the heritage of the site and maintaining the traditional and established methods of distilling quality single malt Scotch whisky.
Since being founded in 2007, Glasgow Whisky has established
influential global credentials in both bulk exports and branded cased sales. As
the company now ventures into purchasing its first distillery site, owners
Graham Taylor and Stuart Hendry – who have over 70 years of combined industry
experience – are delighted at how the business is evolving.
Commenting on the news, Graham Taylor, said: "The
addition of a distillery in Drumguish is an exciting and natural progression as
we continue to build for the future. Since our launch in 2007, we have seen
significant growth in all areas of our Scotch whisky brands and products across
the globe. The distillery will enable us to add to our portfolio and continue
to supply our clients around the world with quality Scotch whisky.”
The refurbishment by Glasgow Whisky will start in the Spring
of 2025, and will involve suppliers from the local Speyside area.
