MM Distillery profile:
The Tamnavulin distillery (the name is Gaelic for 'mill on the hill') was built relatively recently (in 1965/1966) by Tamnavulin-Glenlivet Distillery Co Ltd. - a subsidiary of Invergordon Distillers Ltd. The Tamnavulin distillery was constructed in response to the growing demand for malt whisky by blenders. The Tamnavulin distillery (some of the sources use an alternative spelling of the name; Tomnavoulin) has six stills that have mainly produced malt whisky .
