Information

On August 16th 1941 a single enemy aircraft also bombed the site, hitting warehouse number 12. The local paperreported that thousands gallons of whisky were lost. It is said that Boyndie burn ran with so much whisky that farm animals became intoxicated, and the cows could not stand to be milked in the morning!
After closing good supplies of maturing stock were left, which has allowed for several independent bottlings to be released.
