Welcome to Glen Corran
A small Speyside distillery with a long memory
Since 1887 we have made whisky the slow way on the banks of the Corran Burn, a mile and a half from Craigellachie bridge. We still turn our own barley by hand, ferment for sixty hours and run four copper pot stills shaped exactly as the originals.
Floor malted
Scottish barley, turned by hand on our own malting floor.
Burn water
Soft water off the hills, filtered through granite and peat.
Copper stills
Four stills, slow-run for a clean, fruity spirit.
The whiskies
Speyside single malts, bottled at the distillery
From our honeyed ten-year-old to a single sherry cask hand-filled at the warehouse door. Move your pointer over a bottle to catch the light.
From barley to bottle
Five steps, ten years, one Speyside spirit
Every Glen Corran passes through the same five stages, all under one roof beside the River Spey.

The angels' share
Patience is our main ingredient
Our casks rest in low stone dunnage warehouses with earth floors, where the cool, damp Speyside air slows maturation. Each year about two per cent drifts away through the oak. We call it the angels' share, and we think it is a fair price.
“You cannot hurry a cask. You can only give it a good home and wait.”
