Some Scotch Distilleries Still Do It the Hard Way, on Purpose
A few distilleries still malting, coopering and bottling on site to preserve house style and control quality, with Springbank doing every stage in one place.
- Ahead of National Scotch Day on July 27, distilleries including Balvenie, Springbank, and Glenmorangie maintain traditional, in-house production methods while most competitors outsource for efficiency.
- Where most of the industry buys finished malt and casks, Springbank has never made that trade, managing every stage from barley to bottle on a single property since its 1828 founding.
- Balvenie preserves its Five Rare Crafts, including hand-malting barley and maintaining an on-site cooperage, with Kelsey McKechnie continuing the hands-on approach after David Stewart's more than 50 years as Malt Master.
- Glenmorangie has been distilling in the Highlands for more than 180 years, employing Scotland's tallest pot stills to produce a light, delicate spirit under Master Distiller Bill Lumsden for more than 30 years.
- For those celebrating soon, the whisky travels well into a cocktail glass. "Distilled in Scotland's tallest stills, it produces an elegant, light and smooth spirit," said Luis Zammaretto, a bartender at The Flatiron Room in New York City.
