Production commenced in 1898. After Edwards retired in 1916, Peter Mackie took full control of the distillery, and much of the production was to go into the White Horse blend that the Mackie family had created in 1861.

After Peter Mackie's death in 1924, Mackie & Co. Distillers changed its name to White Horse Distillers, and the company was sold to Distillers Company Ltd (DCL, later to become part of Diageo). The distillery was extended in the mid-1960s, with the number of stills being doubled to four.

Long known locally as 'The White Horse Distillery', Craigellachie was sold by Diageo in 1998 to Bacardi, along with John Dewar & Sons which is now Craigellachie's controlling company.

Since Bacardi acquired ownership, a new range of age statements have been launched: a 13 Year Old, 17 Year Old and 23 Year Old.
