MM Distillery profile:
The Inchgower distillery was built in 1871 by Alexander Wilson & Co. to replace the Tochineal Distillery. Equipment from this distillery was used for the construction of Inchgower near the fishing village of Buckie; a little to the northeast of the majority of the distilleries in Speyside, along the coast and west of Banff and Glenglassaugh....
