Discover Cragganmore
In 1869, Big John Smith, said to have been the most experienced distiller of his day, founded Cragganmore. He lobbied for a railway siding, and using this, his business acumen and skill as a distiller, turned Cragganmore into a popular, high-quality single malt whisky.
Cragganmore takes its rock face of a name from the mountain in whose shadow its distillery sits. And this is a whisky with many high approaches and hidden valleys of flavour. Known as the most complex aroma on Speyside, it must also be one of the most delightful because the distillery can’t keep up with demand.
One of the world’s most famous and influential Scotch whisky authors – the late Michael James Jackson – claimed Cragganmore whisky had ‘the most complex aroma of any malt.
