Miltonduff Timeline:

1824: Said to have been founded on the site of a meal mill at Pluscarden Abbey by Andrew Pearey & Robert Bain as Miltonduff-Glenlivet

1825-34: Pearey & Bain licensees, when A. Pearey withdrew

1834-67: Andrew Pearey

1866: Distillery acquired by William Stuart.

1878-82: Stewart & Fraser when dissolved

....: Continued by William Stewart & Co.

1890: William Stuart joined by Thomas Yool. Distillery expanded during the 1890's with annual production increased to 750,000 litres of alcohol

c.1895/96-1936: Extended by Thomas Yool & Co. which continued to operate until 1936. Annual production of 300,000 proof gallons (1.3 million litres)

1936: Distillery and 200 acres of farmland acquired by Hiram Walker-Gooderman & Worts Ltd. which licensed it to George Ballantines & Sons

1937: Passed to Hiram Walker & Sons (Scotland) Ltd.

1960s: A new method of heating the wash stills was introduced. Passing the wash through a series of heat exchangers (using hot water from the condensers) prior to charging the still would heat the wash to 75-80°C. Once the still had been charged, wash would then be drawn and passed through another heat exchanger where steam would heat the wash to boiling point. The vaporised wash would be returned to the still via a diffuser and in turn heat the residual wash in the still. This would continue until the distillation was complete.
