How Many are there?

My wife accused me of making this edition more about Scotch than normal. Maybe it
is a bit but not on purpose. I have even deferred a one page article I wrote that is
about Scotch until miNiZ118 so as to have an even number of pages (for those who
print it).

So, how many open Scotch distilleries, malt and grain, are there? 126 at present with
22 having opened since 2013 – count them: Annandale, Arbikie, Ardnamurchan,
Ballindalloch, Bladnoch (re-opened), Clydeside, Dalmunach, Dornoch, Eden Mill,
Glasgow, Inchdairnie, Isle of Harris, Isle of Raasay, Kingsbarns, Lindores Abbey,
Lone Wolf, Ncn’ean, Strathearn, Torabhaig (Isle of Skye), Twin River & Wolfburn.

Other than Bladnoch that made miniatures years ago and Ballindalloch that Hart
Brothers used as an alternative name for Glenfarclas, none have yet, as far as I am
aware, made any miniatures. Three re-bottlers, Drinks by The Dram, The Exclusive
Dram and The Perfect Measure have made Wolfburn miniatures.

There are four more distilleries due to open this year: Ardnahoe, Borders (Hawick),
Govan & Toulvaddie.

Other planned Scotch distilleries are: Borders (Peebles), Brora (re-opening),
Holyrood Park, Isle of Arran (second distillery at Lagg), Port Ellen (re-opening) &
Port of Leith.

Further information about these new and proposed new distilleries can be found on-
line.
