- Interesting things about the distillery:
- take their name from the Gaelic for “Black Rock.”
- The main Speyside part of Johnnie Walker
- Helen Cummings and her husband, John, started the distillery in 1824
- The distillery was sited high up on Mannoch Hill, above the River Spey, due to the peat softening the water.
- Helen was the distiller. Since the distillery was on the top of the hill, she could see the authorities coming. She would put flour on herself to say she was baking to cover the smell, offered them tea, and put up a flag to warn other distillers in the area.
- In 1885, they moved the distillery to grow and sold the old distillery to the Grant family; it is now where Glenfiddich began.
- In 1893, sold to Johnnie Walker and Sons, but continued to be run by the Cummings family.
- Joined Distillers Company in 1925, which was bought by Guinness in 1986, and became Diageo in 1997.
