The distillery was establishedby Alexander Edwards and building commenced in 1895. The distillery initially did very well and production was doubled in the first few years. However the Pattison crash was just around the corner. The crash hit Edward hard as he had been a large supplier of bulk whisky to Pattison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduction continued at Aultmore but times were difficult. Pattison’s downfall had led to a surplus of Speyside Malt whisky on the market, Prohibition in America and the 1920s depression also took their toll. Finally, Edward sold the distillery to John Dewar \u0026amp; Sons Ltd of Perth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs in many malt whisky areas, there existed a thriving illicit stills community. The numerous burns and the peaty springs of the Foggie Moss provided the water, and the publicans in Keith were willing customers. Not all the smugglers were men and one of the better-known operators selling ‘small-still’ whisky was a woman called Jane Milne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn display there is an old steam engine, which supplied the distillery’s power round the clock; to do so it was kept in continuous daily operation – except for repair and servicing periods – for the best part of 70 years. Whenever the engine was temporarily out of action the waterwheel, turned by lade-flow from a dam and which had previously supplied all power requirements, stood in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1971 the distillery was rebuilt and a second pair of stills was added to the original pair. Virtually nothing remains of the original distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"aultmore-18-year-old","title":"Aultmore of The Foggie Moss 18 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky","description":"\u003cp\u003eA secluded site once known for smugglers and illicit stills, the Foggie Moss conceals Aultmore's water source and filters it through gorse and heather, purifying it to the profit of Aultmore's refined character. The malted barley has no hint of peat smoke, ensuring the smoothest, cleanest taste. This rarest of Speyside classics has been distilled in handmade copper pot stills since 1897, yet for over a century it was only sold in limited editions aimed at collectors.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aultmore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43755918393497,"sku":"0080480006419","price":133.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/7177\/7177\/files\/Aultmore-of-The-Foggie-Moss-18-Year-Old-Speyside-S-0.jpg?v=1756546147"},{"product_id":"saltire-rare-malt-aultmore-15-year-old-single-cask-single-malt-scotch-whisky-cask-301239","title":"Saltire Rare Malt Aultmore 15 Year Old Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky Cask #301239","description":"\u003cp\u003eDistilled in \u003cstrong\u003eSpeyside\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eScotland\u003c\/strong\u003e at \u003cstrong\u003eAultmore\u003c\/strong\u003e, this \u003cstrong\u003e15-year-old Saltire Rare Malt single cask\u003c\/strong\u003e whisky is drawn from \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican oak barrique #301239\u003c\/strong\u003e and bottled at \u003cstrong\u003e48% ABV\u003c\/strong\u003e.
