Production
The kit, where a primary source publishes it. Where a figure is missing it is because no producer publishes one — the secondary spread on distillery capacity reaches fivefold, so we would rather show nothing than pick a number.

On the heat source
Aberlour is NOT direct fired, contrary to several aggregators. A widely copied description of the still SHAPE as 'traditional coal fired pot onto an Ogee and head' is shape lineage, not a heat source — the same table gives the heat source as internal steam pans.
Ownership on the public record
Aberlour distillery is recorded as owned by Pernod Ricard, a group that is not registered as a UK company under that name. Any UK operating subsidiary would be registered separately.
