Hi!
You have some DYC bottles on the database but the distillery is missing.
Here are the data for the distillery:

I could also provide some photos from a past visit.
I've been lost at Skye suffering to get Carbost by public transport. When I finally get there, and enter Talisker's reception, the shine of the Diageo's tag of the staff reminds me the Disneyland of Guinness brewery. After the visit, I learn that Talisker's malt is not malted at Carbost, nor the whisky is matured there (all in Skye but not Carbost distillery).
Two months after I came back to Spain from my Scotland tour, some friend suggest a visit to DYC distillery, the typical homeland (and cheap) whisky.
On the tour I discover a distillery that the most of the whisky process is done in place: malting, fermentation, distillation, and maturation, only bottling is not done there, but at another plant 15km away on the same province of Segocia. All of that at 1000 meters over sea level. Whisky is aged on used bourbon casks, and it's usually blended for mass consumption, but there are some single malt batches released.
For me, as a newcomer to whisky, it's a great discover that I have that jewel close to my home, and it's so much arranged to my homeland of Segovia, and Castilla y León. Great product, and a great visit.
FYI, malt is not dried with peat (peat is not common on Spain, and it's expensive to import), it's dry with hot air from a cogeneration plant onsite. So flavour is not smokey like Scotts, but vanilla and fruity, that comes from castillian barley.
Some photos of the tour (photos are not allowed inside because explosion atmospheres):
