Craigellachie Distillery Tours

Information

“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 – a result of carefully calibrated production process and the use of traditional worm tub condensers.

Usually closed to the public, this Spirit of Speyside festival we invite you to join us for a behind the scenes tour of this famed, unusually stubborn distillery, naturally, with a dram (or two) along the way. Let us tell you a tale or two about this legendary distillery. Each guest will also receive a branded Craigellachie glass to take home.

Like with all events run by John Dewar & Son’s, all proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to local charities.

Refund Policy: Request must be received 48 hours before event.
Getting here: Stagecoach bus 36 (Dufftown/Elgin) passes the distillery, there is parking onsite or you can reach us by taxi
