The Mortlach distillery was founded in 1823 by James Findlater in Dufftown, Banffshire. The Mortlach distillery was the first distillery in Dufftown, pre-dating the next one (Glenfiddich) by over four decades. In 2013 Diageo announces an £18 million investment plan to substentially increase the capacity at Mortlach distillery and promote it as a standalone single malt. Mortlach malt whisky is an important component of the Johnnie Walker Black Label blend.
