Single malt Scotch whisky is made in the Tamnavulin distillery, which was established in 1966. The Tamnavulin distillery was constructed in 1966 by Tamnavulin-Glenlivet Distillery Co. Ltd. to meet the rising demand from whiskey blenders like Whyte & Mackay, Crawfords, and Mackinlay's. When Whyte & Mackay acquired Invergordon Distillers in 1993, they also acquired Tamnavulin (the parent company of the Tamnavulin-Glenlivet Distillery Co. Ltd.) Additionally, the distilleries Bruichladdich, Isle of Jura, and Tullibardine were purchased for £382 million. In May 1995, the Tamnavulin distillery was shut down. In 2001, ownership was given to Kyndal International, and in 2007, Whyte & Mackay's United Spirits part of United Breweries Group gained ownership. After a significant renovation and the installation of modern automation and process control by Canongate Technology, the distillery started up again in July 2007. Emperador Inc. currently owns Tamnavulin after purchasing Whyte & Mackay in 2014 for £430 million.  It produces whisky for the company's blended Scotch whisky brands along with Invergordon distillery.
