In 1898, he hired the legendary distillery architect Charles Doig to build the new plant and a year later it was in full production. The year after he had sold it to the blending firm Wright \u0026amp; Greig, whose brand was Roderick Dhu. It passed into the hands of Benmore Distillers which became part of DCL in 1929. Wright \u0026amp; Greig itself followed suit and its old HQ in Glasgow would in time become the home of DCL’s engineering division. Like many distilleries, it was silent throughout the 1930s – it also caught on fire in 1939 – and wasn’t operational again until 1947. It was closed in 1983 and sold to Historical Scotland in 1986 who opened it as a distillery museum.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item slick-slide slick-active\" data-slick-index=\"0\" aria-hidden=\"false\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item slick-slide slick-active\" data-slick-index=\"0\" aria-hidden=\"false\"\u003eStrangely enough...
