Established in 1961 by Invergordon Distillers Ltd The Distillery occupies an eighty-acre site on the northern shore of the Cromarty Firth in the northeast Highlands, The area has some of the best arable land in Scotland.
Invergordon town takes its name from an eighteenth-century laird, Sir William Gordon. The Cromarty Firth is one of the best deep-water harbours in Europe and was an important commercial port and naval base. The distillery was commissioned in 1959 to create employment in the area, following the departure of the Royal Navy
During 1963 a second pair of Coffey stills were installed this was followed in 1978 with the installation of another larger Coffey still which had additional columns for production of neutral spirit
At some point in 1988 there was a management buyout at Invergordon
