Charles Chree Doig designed the first pagoda roof in Scotland for Dailuaine Distillery in 1889 - many more like Lochside, Montrose, Parkmore, Longmorn, Oban or Cragganmore to name a few should follow.

The production volume per year is about 3.000.000 million litres of spirit which is tankered away- there is no whisky warehoused on site any more. The Victorian warehouses are empty. The warehouses are now at Blackrange. On the site is a dark grains plant. There is also a curiosity. The only warehouse in Scotland with a letter box from the times of Queen Victoria is to be found at Dailuaine Distillery.

Plans for an upgrade of the bio-plant and the distillery were published by Diageo in 2011: „The company said these would “see production capacity increased at existing distilleries by more than 10 million litres per annum over the next two to three years” – the equivalent capacity

to building a major new distillery – with an investment of around £10 million. The details of these plans are still being developed.“ Drinks International, July 2011.

Dailuaine is bottled in the Flora and Fauna Series as a 16 year old and blended in Johnnie Walker. There is also a 1995 Dailuiane 15 year old bottled by the independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail.
