History
It was founded and built in 1817 by Hugh Munro on his estate of
In 1970 the distillery was greatly expanded, and an entire new building with six new stills was taken in operation.
In April 2013 owner Diageo announced a new renovation of the distillery.[2] They also announced a new distillery with 16 new stills will be placed next to the old distillery. The new distillery is planned to have a different name than Teaninich, and produce a separate whisky.[4]
The distillery mainly produces malts for blending, and it is used in Johnnie Walker Red Label. There are no official bottlings of the malt. Since 1992 a 10-year-old malt has been available in the flora and fauna series.[2]
