Cadenhead is Scotland's oldest independent bottler, having being founded in 1842 as William Cadenhead Limited Wine & Spirit Merchants. It was family owned until it was bought by another family company J&A Mitchell & Co, owners of the Springbank and Glengyle distilleries.
Founded in 1893 by DCL (now Diageo), Knockdhu was mothballed in 1983: one of the many victims of the whisky loch of the 80s. The distillery began production again in 1988 when Inver House purchased the site. Shortly thereafter they began to release AnCnoc single malts. The distillery produces a fresh, citric, intense newmake which has fantastic palate weight.
