Glen Spey distillery was built in 1878 by James Stuart & Co. under the name ‘Mill of Rothes’. It actually started its life as an oatmeal mill – founder James Stuart was a corn merchant before he ventured into the whisky world. The distillation equipment was simply added to the existing mill in the years before the Glen Spey distillery was sold to the Gilbey company of London in 1887.
In 1962, W&A Gilbey merged with United Wine Traders to form International Distillers and Vintners.
It expanded production capacity from two to four stills in 1970.
In 1998, International Distillers and Vintners was merged with United Distillers to create United Distillers & Vintners, forming the spirits division of Diageo.
