Discover Cragganmore
From Fast-Flowing Waters to Complex Whisky
Cragganmore was founded by legend Big John Smith, one of Speyside’s great whisky pioneers. He chose this location for its pure water source and its connection to the Great Highland Railway line, which allowed the rich tastes of Cragganmore to reach markets across Scotland. Thanks to Big John, Cragganmore was the first Speyside distillery to take advantage of railway transport as a means of bringing in raw materials, and sending out their delicious, unique malt.
Distillery FAQs
While the distillery is fully operational and producing whisky, the Cragganmore home is currently closed to the public. We invite you to visit our sister distillery, Cardhu, nearby for tours and tastings.
Speyside is the heart of whisky country, and has many options to explore. We highly recommend visiting Cardhu, just a short drive away and open seven days a week.
Cragganmore is owned by Diageo. It remains a celebrated part of our single malt portfolio, renowned for its complex layered character and its role in the Old Parr blend.
