Auchnagie , rarely referred to as Achnagie or referred to as Tullymet or Easter Tullymet because of its proximity to the hamlet of Tullymet , was a whiskey distillery near Ballinluig , Perth and Kinross , Scotland . Together with Ballechin and Grandtully, it belonged to a group of rural distilleries in the area, of which Edradour is the only one still active today.
The distillery was founded in 1812. After several changes of ownership, it came into the possession of John Dewar & Sons in 1890 , who closed the distillery in 1912. The buildings of the rural distillery are still partially preserved today.
When Alfred Barnard visited the distillery as part of his whiskey tour in 1886, it had a production capacity of 24,000 gallons , with an annual output of about 19,000 gallons. Water from the Auchnagie Hills was used for mashing .
