The Speyside Distillery is located on the banks of the River Tromie in the Speyside region of the Scottish Highlands.
The distillery is closer to the source of the River Spey than any other distillery in Scotland, providing access to the area's richest, purest water. George Christie a respected whisky merchant wanted to build a malt whisky distillery of his own. He chose the stunning location at Tromie Mills below the small village of Drumguish.
The distillery is not a large production plant, mass production never being one of Mr Christie's objectives.
The distillery draws its water from the old mill lade which originally ran the waterwheel that powered the old mill that gives the site its name; the same water source is used for process and cooling in the distillery
