GORDON & MacPhail could begin work on building its new distillery near Grantown-on-Spey by the end of the year.
The family-owned Moray business was given planning permission by the Cairngorms National Park Authority on Friday to build on the banks of the River Spey at Craggan.
The company, which owns Benromach Distillery near Forres, first unveiled its plans last year.
Managing director Ewen Mackintosh said: "We hope to get started very quickly – potentially this year.
"We're looking forward to becoming part of the local community here.
"We've attended quite a few local events over the last year and been really heartened by the warm welcome we have received.
"As a family-owned business located in the north of Scotland we are very much rooted in our communities and we are keen to develop strong relationships in Grantown-on-Spey and the surrounding area."
