James Macgregor had zich begin 19e eeuw met zijn twee broers gevestigd in Cromdale. Al snel nadat de Exise Act van kracht werd kreeg James Macgregor in 1824 een vergunning om legaal te stoken in Balmenach Distillery.  Balmenach bleef een familiebedrijf van de Macgregors, totdat het in 1897 werd ondergebracht in een Limited Liabilty Company (Ltd.). De Macgregors hielden nog wel de zeggenschap in de nieuwe aandelenstructuur. Ze gebruikten het geld om de distillery te renoveren en er werd een private spoorlijn van de distillery naar Cromdale Station aangelegd. Hier vind je een foto van de Balmenach stoomtrein. Het transport van grondstoffen en whisky van en naar de distillery werd met de komst van de spoorlijn veel eenvoudiger. In 1922 werd Balmenach overgenomen door een consortium van blenders en was de rol van de Macgregors uitgespeeld. Tegenwoordig ademt deze traditionele Speyside distillery nog steeds veel historie.
