The permission for the construction was granted to transform a walled garden into a tangible Scottish whiskey distillery on the grounds of Ailenbowie House.
The Stirling Council in Scotland has granted the permission of organic architects to develop a distillery in Ailenbowie near Bannockburn.
The distillery is built in a “neglected” garden on the site of the Ailbowie-Haus in Ailenbowie.
Bari Reid, director at Organic Architects, who specializes in sustainable distilleries, said: “Approval for this project is an important milestone, and we look forward to starting work again.
“This area has been empty and overgrown for decades – but it has immense potential.
“Our design celebrates the character of the website and the rich history of the estate and at the same time provides something new and relevant for today.
“The burner buildings are located like elegant Victorian greenhouses in the garden walls. In the heart of the design there is a glass house with a view of a water garden, which serves as a cooling system for the distillation process.
“It is a project in which sustainability, inheritance and craftsmanship come together – and we can hardly wait to see that it takes shape.”
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026, whereby the location is expected to be distilled in 2027.
The investments of several million pounds will create 15 direct jobs, with more opportunities to be expected in the entire local economy, especially in agriculture, logistics and hospitality.
Another whiskey producer who also granted the building permit this year is the Loch Lomond Group.
