InchDairnie distillery is a Lowland single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Glenrothes, Scotland.
History
InchDairnie distillery was founded in 2015 by Ian Palmer, a former whisky industry professional in Glenrothes on the site of the old John Fergus & Co mill. The company was named John Fergus & Co.
InchDairnie built an additional eight maturation warehouses between 2017 and 2019, and also a whisky blending facility.
In 2022, the distillery has purchased almost 11 acres of land at Osprey Road, Glenrothes, to construct a bonded warehouse.
In November 2024, the distillery decided to increase its capacity from two million to 4m-litres of alcohol per year and switching from natural gas to 100% green hydrogen.
The first single malt is expected to be released in 2029.
