The distillery (the original name 'Dai leas dubh' translates as 'black water valley') is located in the far west of Speyside, near Forres. Some accounts list the Gaelic name of Dallas Dhu as 'Dalais Dubh'. It was one of the distilleries designed by architect Charles Doig. Benromach is the closest neighbour of Dallas Dhu. The distillery changed hands a few times until it was finally closed in 1983 under the ownership of DCL. Warehousing continued on the premises the license was cancelled in 1992.
