Cragganmore Distillery, nestled in the heart of Speyside, is renowned for crafting one of the region’s most complex and layered single malts. Founded in 1869 by railway man John Smith, its location was strategically chosen for both its water source and transport links. Cragganmore’s whisky is celebrated for its elegant balance of sweet malt, gentle smoke, and herbal depth—often with a distinctive nutty character. It’s a favourite among connoisseurs who appreciate subtlety and sophistication in their drams.
