In 2000, an official bottling was released. This was a 15-year-old whisky. Before that a semi-official bottling was released by Gordon & MacPhail in the 1990s.
The distillery has three spirit stills and three wash stills, with a total production capacity of 4,500,000 litres (990,000 imp gal) of pure alcohol per year.
The distillery and the hamlet of Tauchers were served by Tauchers Platform railway station until 1964 with a freight siding also at one time running to the distillery.
