Description
Towiemore Distillery began life during one of the whisky industry’s brightest periods and produced through its worst. Built in 1897 in the parish of Botriphnie just outside of Dufftown, Towiemore distilled for just thirty years. In this time, it garnered a fine reputation as an excellent pure malt whisky.
Owned and supported by renowned whisky entrepreneur Peter Dawson, Towiemore was a victim of bad luck and ill circumstance. Such troubles would have seemed distant when Towiemore opened in 1897. Built by local contractor W. Cruickshank on the designs of the architect John Alcock, both based in the town of Keith, Towiemore was instigated and bankrolled by Peter Dawson, the distiller, blender, international businessman and public relations pioneer. The location chosen by this native of Banffshire is indicative of the attributes required for a late Victorian distillery to succeed.
