Inchgower distillery was built in 1871 by the nephew of the founder of Tonicheal distillery, Alexander Wilson. Inchgower was actually a replacement for Tonicheal; the move to a new distillery was because the landlord of Tonicheal wanted to double the price of the rent. The new distillery was considered to be a model in those days. Inchgower was even been owned by Buckie council between 1930 and 1936, Arthur Bell & sons then purchased it.

In 1966, the distillery was modernised and its production capacity was increased when the number of stills was doubled from 2 to 4. Arthur Bell & Sons was taken over by Guinness in 1985. Guinness then became UDV a few years later. Only 1% of the malt produced is sold as single malt, the remaining malt is used in the Bell's, White Horse and Johnnie Walker and blended whiskies.
