History:

 

 

 

 

Established in 1891 and built by the Craigellachie Distillery Co. Ltd, a partnership formed by a group of blenders and whisky merchants.  Rebuilt in 1964/65 and doubled to four stills.  Now a part of United Distillers plc.  The distillery stands on the spur of a hill, overlooking the village of Craigellachie, the precipitous rock of Craigellachie, the River Spey and Thomas Telford’s elegant single-span iron bridge of 1815.
