Description

Parkmore Distillery in Dufftown was designed by Charles Doig in 1894 and consists of a group of distillery buildings constructed from harl pointed rubble with tooled ashlar dressings, featuring decorative cast-iron finials and slate roofs. The complex includes a former malt-barn used as a yeast store, a kiln, workshops, and offices, arranged in an irregular U-plan around an open court.

The yeast store is a three-storey, 14-bay structure with long elevations on the east and west sides, characterized by regular fenestration that includes multi-pane glazing and some shuttered lower lights. At the southeast corner, there is a three-storey square traditional kiln with three-bay elevations, topped with a slated ogee roof that ends in a louvred pagoda cupola.

A two-storey, six-bay range extends from the west elevation of the kiln, closing off the south side of the court. An irregular two-storey office block forms the west arm of the court, featuring some first-floor windows that break the eaves under gablets, along with some enlarged windows on the west elevation. Additionally, a single-storey, three-bay fire station and garage block projects from the north gable.

The duty-free warehouses, numbered 1 and 2, consist of four parallel two-storey ranges with three-bay gabled elevations on the north and south sides, creating a continuous frontage. The duty-free warehouses numbered 6 and 8 mirror this design with gabled elevations on the east and west. Warehouse number 4 features two parallel ranges similar to the others, also with gabled frontages on the east and west.
