The transfer to SMD marked the beginning of a period of stability for Craigellachie; apart from a reconstruction in 1964-65 during which the number of pot stills was doubled, relatively little happened at the distillery. In 1998, it was sold to John Dewar & Sons. On March 1998, Diageo sold John Dewar & Sons to Bacardi.

Therefore, while a single malt can contain whisky from many different casks, all of this whisky must have been produced by one distillery.Glenfiddich distillery (Scottish English: [ɡlɛnˈfɪdɪç]) is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distillery owned by William Grant & Sons in the Scottish burgh of Dufftown in Moray.
