Bladnoch Distillery is a Single malt Scotch whisky distillery in south west Scotland. It is one of only three remaining Lowland distilleries, and is located at Bladnoch, near Wigtown, Dumfries and Galloway. The distillery is situated on the banks of the River Bladnoch, and is the most southerly whisky distillery in Scotland.
The distillery was founded by John and Thomas McClelland in 1817 and during the period 1823 - 1826 produced 28,956 gallons of whisky, an average of 7,239 gallons per annum, and in the year 1826 - 1827 this had risen to 9,792 gallons.
By 1845 twenty workers, exclusive of tradesmen, were employed in converting 16,000 bushels of barley per annum into spirit. In 1878 the distillery was enlarged and modernised, presumably to cope with rising production. By 1887 the site occupied 2 acres (8,100 m) with a further 50 acres (200,000 m) being farmed by the proprietor, who was the son and nephew of the founders; the output had risen considerably to 51,000 gallons per annum....
