Its style also appears to have shifted on at least two occasions from the overtly fruity manifestations of its earliest guise to a more cereal-accented make in recent years. A peated variant, bottled as Old Ballantruan, is also now part of the portfolio. Its growing presence in the malt category will hopefully convince more people of its undoubted quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe distillery was built in 1965 by a pair of whisky-broking firms, Hay \u0026amp; MacLeod and W. \u0026amp; S.
