Cragganmore
Discover Cragganmore
Big John Smith, one of the most experienced distillers of his day, founded the Cragganmore Distillery in 1869.
Its location was chosen to be close to the Strathspey Railway Line, which ran between Speyside and Dufftown and was known as The Whisky Line. Thanks to Big John’s business acumen and a superior single malt whisky, the name endures to this day.
Its flavour is celebrated as a complex, perfectly balanced blend of sweet floral fragrances, riverside herbs, honey, and vanilla with a hint of smokiness.
Cragganmore Distillery Production
Cragganmore draws its water from Craggan Burn which runs alongside the distillery. It employs both a longer and shorter fermentation period, 60 and 90 hours respectively, to create distinct flavour profiles for the whisky.
The distillery is loyal to its heritage and employs a worm tub condenser, rarely seen in the industry.
