Dal Riata Distillery Ltd has been awarded planning permission by Argyll & Bute Council to build a new distillery called ‘Dal Riata’ on the banks of Campbeltown Loch. The development will be mixed use, featuring a Distillery, museum, visitor centre and retail outlet.
The £4.5 million investment into this independent venture will provide employment for around 20 local people, and Dal Riata Distillery Ltd has pledged to provide trainee positions for those seeking a career in the burgeoning Scotch Whisky industry.
The name ‘Dal Riata’ (The Kingdom of Alba) was used during the 6th and 7th Centuries and encompassed an area including Argyll, Kintyre, Islay, Jura, Mull, Ardnamurchan, Cowal and a northeast corner of Ireland. The capital of Dal Riata was Dunadd Fort, where the new distillery intends to grow the barley for their own single malt Scotch Whisky.
The vision behind the creation of Dal Riata comes from two long-term whisky enthusiasts Iain Croucher who is founder and owner of independent whisky bottlers North Star Spirits, and successful business entrepreneur Ronnie Grant.
Dal Raita Distillery Director Iain Croucher said “To be working within Scotch Whisky is beyond a blessing. The ladies and gents that came before who created such as strong and powerful industry, which we are now custodians, comes with great responsibility. We must preserve this vital global asset for future generations to enjoy and thrive”.
Dal Raita Distillery Director Ronnie Grant said “Gaining planning permission is a massive step forward in fulfilling our dream to bring a new distillery to Campbeltown. We have been humbled by the positive reaction we have received from both local people and the wider whisky community. Campbeltown is a special little place which is certainly on the up and we can't wait to become a part of its bright future."
