There are two ways in which you can achieve sulphurous notes in whisky, one due to the burning of sulphur candles in casks to stop bacterial infection and the other comes from barley which is naturally produced during the whisky-making process. Craigellachie is known for its sulphurous nature, the first thing you can smell when you walk into the distillery is notes of cabbage and beef stock! The small amounts of copper available to the spirit vapour promotes these high sulphur levels. Craigellachie Distillery was designed by Charles Doig in 1890, this was just under 30 years after the railway lines from Lossiemouth, Dufftown, Keith, and Strathspey met in Craigellachie for the first time. The distillery was passed through multiple owners before it was sold to John Dewar & Sons in 1998, however, it wasn’t until 2014 that Dewars relaunched Craigellachie as a single malt brand.
