Dallas Dhu distillery is a inactive Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distillery located in Forres, Moray, Scotland.
Dallas Dhu means "Black Water Valley" in Gaelic. Its whisky also appeared as a "Dallas Mhor" single malt.[2] In 1899, Alexander Edward designed the Dallas Dhu distillery at the height of the whisky boom. Later he sold the plans and the distillery was built by the blender Wright and Greg. It was acquired by Benmore Distilleries Ltd, which joined DCL in 1929. The stillhouse was destroyed by a fire in 1939, but rebuilt. Production continued until the distillery closed in 1983.[3] It is a whisky museum since 1992. Dallas Dhu will reopen under Aceo Distillers Company management.[4]
