The Cairn is a modern Speyside distillery owned by Gordon & MacPhail, a renowned fourth-generation family business with roots stretching back to the 19th century. Planning permission for the distillery was granted in 2019, and The Cairn officially opened its doors in May 2022. Nestled within the Cairngorms National Park in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, the distillery was purpose-built with a strong emphasis on modern sustainable architecture, blending contemporary design with the region's deep whisky-making traditions. As The Cairn's single malt whisky continues to mature, Gordon & MacPhail has introduced a portfolio of blended malts under the CRN57° label to represent the distillery in the interim. The Cairn benefits from Gordon & MacPhail's unparalleled expertise in whisky maturation, built over more than a century of working with some of Scotland's finest spirits. The distillery is designed to stand out in a competitive industry, with unique aspects that reflect both innovation and heritage. In a landmark moment celebrating Gordon & MacPhail's 130th anniversary, the first-ever whisky release from The Cairn Distillery was included in a special charity auction trilogy, underlining the significance of this new chapter in the family's storied whisky legacy.
