P. Mackenzie and Co., Distillers
of 29 Stafford Street, Edinburgh, Pitlochry, and Liverpool
Whisky distillers.
1897 P. Mackenzie and Company, Distillers, Limited was registered, with capital of £100,000, to acquire and carry on the business of P. Mackenzie and Company, distillers, merchants, and commission agents, at Edinburgh, Pitlochry, and Liverpool, and the business of the Dufftown-Glenlivet Distillery Company Limited, distillers at Dufftown. P. Mackenzie and Co had been established 26 years previously and had, in 1882, acquired the Blair Athol Distillery in Pitlochry. The Dufftown-Glenlivet Distillery Co had been registered in 1896.[1]
1931 The company announced the transfer of blending and bottling activity from Liverpool to expanded premises in Pitlochry.[2]
1933 The company went into voluntary liquidation. Arthur Bell and Sons purchased the company's assets from the liquidator, including whisky stocks and the two distilleries.[3]
As a note, Blair Athol was alternatively known as Aldour Distillery, and the Dufftown distillery, which had been silent for two years, was locally known as Pittyvaich.[4]
