The distillery is built on a bluff situated above the confluence of the River Fiddich and the River Spey. Craigellachie lies in the heart of Speyside.
In 1891 a whisky expert noted that Craigellachie represented a style of whisky "seldom met with now" which we took as a compliment. Today we still use old fashioned Worm Tubs to cool our spirit and bestow it with extra flavour, creating a dram to rival whiskies twice it's age.
