Ailsa Bay distillery is a Lowland whisky distillery located in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The distillery is owned by William Grant & Sons.

The Ailsa Bay Malt Whisky Distillery was built by the William Grant & Sons company to meet their needs for malt whisky for their blended whiskies.^[1] The distillery was built near the site of the Girvan distillery.^[2]

It was officially founded in 2007.^[3] The opening was attended by Prince Charles in 2009.^[4]

In March 2019, Ailsa Bay released a new brand of scotch whisky which was protected with blockchain technology to prevent counterfeiting.^[5]

In September 2019, Ailsa Bay released Aerstone, a new brand of single malt scotch whisky.^[6] William Grant & Sons says it is aimed at new whisky drinkers that find established single malts like Glenfiddich and The Balvenie “too complex with intimidating choice and language”.^[7]
