Its current name dates back to 1875.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery closed in 1921 and was used as a whisky warehouse. It was partially dismantled two years later and used as a barn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClosed from 1921 until 1959, it came back to live thanks to James Fairlie who refurbished it , being very carefully not to loose its traditional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom 1981 till 1990, the distillery belonged to the Cointreau company.
