The Craigellachie distillery was built in 1888 by P.J. Mackie and his business partner. Only 2 % of their production of maltwhisky is bottled as Single Malt. Contrary to the current trend of whiskies without an age indication, owner John Dewar & Sons decided to launch new or renewed bottles with his 5 distilleries, all of which have an Age Statement. It matured completely in barrels of American oak wood. Sweet, fruity and smoky, this is a fine example of the quality of this Speyside distillery.
