Description
The independent bottling brands “Cree” and “Creetown Distillers” come from the folks at the Whisky Broker Ltd. Company. Founded in 2010 by Martin Armstrong, the brand is named after their location in Creetown, Scotland. The name of the town and the brand come from the River Cree that runs through it. They are about two hours south of Glasgow, right on the water looking out to the Irish Sea and the Isle of Man. They began modestly and have grown to now have their own warehouses and over 20 people on their team.

Craigellachie is a Speyside Distillery founded in 1891. Pronounced craig-ella-key, this distillery is in the village of Craigellachie. Alexander Edward and Peter Mackie were the founders of the distillery and both came from impressive grain and distillery backgrounds. Although a “Speyside” malt which is known to be fruity and sweet, Craigellachie is a nod to the past. They are the last distillery to burn oil underneath their barley during the malting process and utilize worm tub condensers. This is a fruity malt but with a nice punch to it. Some even say “burnt pineapple”.
