Dufftown was founded in 1895/6 by the blender Peter Mackenzie in partnership with Richard Stackpole and John Symon, the latter being the owner of the mill buildings which were converted into the distillery. After a chequered history including a period in mothballs during 1941-47, Dufftown went on to be a major element of the Bell’s blend. The distillery was expanded twice in the 1970s and it remains one of the largest in Scotland.
