Speyside Distillery

A small, hand-built, artisan distillery nestled amongst the foothills of the beautiful Cairngorm Mountains, still hand distilling in time-honoured traditions and widely acknowledged to be amongst the prettiest of all Scotland’s distilleries

Originally a barley mill and croft dating back to the 1700’s, it closed in 1965 and over the next 25 years it was slowly and lovingly converted into a single malt distillery, which then started producing spirit in 1990.

The distillery draws it’s water from the Spey River tributary -The River Tromie still using the old mill lade, which originally ran the waterwheel that powered the old mill.

The distillery itself was hand-built by a stone mason Alex Fairlie and the full production is housed under one roof.

The distillery is also known as ‘Lagganmore’ from BBC TV’s Monarch of the Glen series.
