“You can write the story of a distillery and talk of naught but business, machines, technical details, and statistics. It will be a true tale, but it won’t be the whole tale. Craigellachie’s story is about more than whisky.” Dave Broom, Craigellachie: The Romantic and the Pragmatic

Founded in 1891 by Peter Mackie of White Horse and Alexander Edward – who also built the Craigellachie hotel alongside – Craigellachie distillery stands proud in the heart of Speyside. But don’t be fooled into thinking this is your typical Speyside dram: Craigellachie is muscular and robust – the result of a carefully calibrated production process, squat stills and the use of traditional worm tub condensers.
Please note, Craigellachie is closed to the public, and only opens its doors for tours during the Spirit of Speyside Festival each year – please see our event listings for access and events.
