The distillery was founded in 1927 by Seager Evans and The first spirit was produced in 1928.[1] The company was acquired by Schenley Industries of New York in 1956, who invested heavily in the site, including the addition of a Single malt whisky branded Kinclaith, which started producing in 1958.[1] The Kinclaith still was closed in 1975[2] after the site was acquired by Whitbread.
