Rumours about illegal distillation prior to 1824 abound. The official story claims that Miltonduff distillery started distilling just one year after the enactment of the Excise Act 1823. This distillery was one of the biggest in the country by the end of the 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnusually among Scottish distilleries, the whisky produced there was distilled three times. Like most distilleries, it went through difficult periods during the Pattison crisis and WWI. In 1936 it was acquired by Canadian distillers Hiram Walker. Under their ownership a pair of Lomond stills were installed in 1964. The whisky produced in those stills was sold under the name Mosstowie. Those stills were decommissioned in 1981 and today Mosstowie single malt is a rare sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery expanded its production capacity in 1974 and has changed hands a couple of times since 1936.
