Coleburn
Coleburn Distillery, designed by renowned architect Charles C. Doig in 1897 for a Dundee-based whisky blending firm, officially opened in 1899 at Coleburn Farm, just south of Fogwatt in Scotland’s Speyside whisky region. Conveniently located beside Colburn Railway Station, it enjoyed swift transportation links to southern blenders, contributing to its early success. However, Coleburn closed in 1985, and while many of the historic buildings remain, much of the original equipment has been removed. Today, recent releases—such as Gordon & MacPhail’s Coleburn Rare Old—are highly collectable, reflecting the distillery’s status as a rare and sought-after Speyside malt.
