The distillery was founded and built in 1817 . In April 2013 owner Diageo announced a new renovation of the distillery. They also announced a new distillery with 16 new stills will be placed next to the old distillery. The new distillery is planned to have a different name than Teaninich, and produce a separate whisky. The distillery mainly produces malts for blending, and it is used in Johnny Walker Red. There are no official bottlings of the malt. Since 1992 a 10-year-old malt has been available in the Flora and Fauna series.
