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.

Nose: Dried apples; white chocolate and hints of aniseed offer up a rich aromatic nose with this speyside malt.

Palate: Quite herbal notes are the first thing you will notice then some sage and lemon thyme with hints of spices coat the middle palate. This dram is a great accompaniment to any evening dinner.

Finish: Lingering melted white chocolate; quite floral and then some mandarin notes add a sweetness to the finish.
