Cragganmore

Cragganmore Distillery was established by John Smith in 1869 on a site close to Ballindalloch Station in the heart of Scotland’s Speyside whisky region. Cragganmore Distillery is a malt whisky distillery equipped with four very short stills and is one of the few Scottish malt whisky distilleries which continue to cool their new spirit in traditional worm tubs. Visitors are welcomed at the Cragganmore Distillery visitor centre where distillery tours are available. Cragganmore is a participant in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival.

Clean, grassy and citrus with lovely clean vanilla oak, cereal, apricot, banana and delicate sweet spices. Slightly oily with a tropical fruit middle along with the gloriously clean vanilla oak. Very long with the sweetness building on the palate. Glorious length and finish.
