The distillery was founded in 1897 by John Robertson & Son.[1]
In 1915 was sold to the Clynelish Distillery Company, which John Risk owned, John Walker & Sons and DCL.[1]
In 1985, Coleburn distillery was mothballed.[2]
in 1986, DCL. was acquired by Guinness[3] and was renamed as United Distillers in 1987.[4]
In 1997, Guinness merged with Grand Metropolitan to create Diageo wish become the owner of Coleburn distillery.[5]
In 2004, the distillery buildings were sold to the Winchester Brothers with plans to transform the distillery grounds into a whisky resort.[6]
In 2014, Coleburn’s dunnage warehouses were leased to Aceo, owner of an independent bottler Murray McDavid that also has plans to restart whisky production on the site.[7]
In 2024, Winchester Brothers announced that the Coleburn distillery bistro will open later in the year with plans for the distillery restart producing whisky in 2025.[8]
