The Glendronach distillery was founded in 1826. The distillery was completely destroyed by fire in 1837. The ruins and the distillation license were sold to Walter Scott, who worked at the Teaninich Distillery at that time. Captain Charles Grant, the son of the founder of Glenfiddich, was the distillery owner from 1920 to 1960.
The Glendronach distillery was the last distillery in Scotland until September 2005, where coal was used to heat distillation cubes. Spiral steam heat exchangers are used now.
Approximately 50% of all whisky is spent on its own single malt whisky releases, the remaining is sold to other blend producers.
