Carsebridge
Carsebridge is a former Lowland grain distillery that was situated in the Fife town of Alloa. It was built in 1799 by John Bald, initially operating as a malt distillery. The switch to grain production was made in 1852 with the installation of two Coffey stills, making it the second-largest grain whisky distillers in Scotland at the time. Using its significant power, it became one of the six founding member of the Distillers Company (DCL) in 1877.
The distillery was was run by DCL through its Scottish Grain Distillers subsidiary until 1983 when it was closed amid a period of oversupply. It was later used by Diageo as a cooperage until 2011, before the site was put up for sale in 2019.
Despite its long history, the first official Carsebridge single grain brand was not marketed until 2018, thirty-five years after its closure. The brand was introduced by Diageo for its Special Releases offering that year, and is also available through its private casks programme, Casks of Distinction.
