Founded in 1891 by Alexander Edward and Peter Mackie, with architecture by Charles Doig, Craigellachie Distillery is located in the village of Craigellachie, Speyside, Scotland, overlooking the River Spey. Production began in 1891 and the distillery is now owned by Bacardi through its subsidiary John Dewar & Sons, acquired in 1998.

Renowned for its bold, fruit-forward single malts with distinctive tropical notes such as pineapple and banana, Craigellachie is a key component in Dewar’s blends, including White Horse. With an annual production capacity of 4.2 million litres, the distillery uses traditional worm tub condensers to produce a heavier, sulphury spirit, distinguishing it from lighter Speyside malts.

Bacardi’s global distribution network, spanning over 170 countries, supports Craigellachie’s presence in markets like North America and Asia, making it an attractive option for investors in the premium whisky cask market.
