The distillery was built in 1891 in Banffshire, in the heart of Speyside, between Rothes and Dufftown (eastern Scotland). Co-founded by Alexander Edward, from Aultmore, and Peter Mackie, of the White Horse mixing company, the buildings were designed by the famous local architect, Charles Doig, with modern technical devices to produce a lighter spirit suitable for long maturation.
Today Craigellachie is a distillery that has maintained a good compromise between tradition and modernity. In 2014, after being acquired by Bacardi, they reveal a complete range of three new official bottlings: the Craigellachie portfolio now includes 13, 17 and 23 years OLD and not the traditional aging of 12 or 18. Its 4 giant stills, clearly visible from the road thanks to the large windows of the still house, produce over 4 million liters of whisky annually.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
