The Speyside Cooperage is located on the outskirts of Craigellachie, just off the main road between the village and Dufftown in the heart of Speyside. It is the largest independent cooperage in the UK and the only one with a visitor centre. This won a prestigious Icons of Whisky award in 2011 for Visitor Attraction of the Year and includes a gift shop, cafe and small cinema. Many times we have sped passed and contemplated a visit, but on a recent press trip there were finally a couple of hours free to pop in.
