Water : | Craggan Mor Hill / The Craggan Burn. |
Remark : | Cragganmore :One og the six Classic Malt of Scotland.A 12 year old elegant, sophisticated Speyside with the most complex aroma of any malt. Astonishingly fragrant with sweetish notes and a smoky maltiness on the finish. They use ex-bourbon casks. The distillery have 2 wash stills and 2 spirit stills. From the Whisky pilot by Uniqum Systems : Mr John Smith founded Cragganmore distillery in 1869 in the mountain district, high on the River Spey where it meets the Avon and the Livet. The distillery never closed for even a fortnight in any year up until the summer of 1901, when reconstruction began. The distillery was rebuilt in 1902 and expanded in 1964 from two to four stills. An interesting feature is that the spirit stills have flat topped, T-shaped lyne pipes instead of the usual swan necks. The stills have cooling worms rather than condensers. The distillery drains its water from the Craggan Burn, a spring on the Craggan More Hill. Cragganmore occupies a site north of the A95 between Grantown-on-Spey and Ballindalloch, close to the River Spey. It was the first Speyside distillery to be located to take advantage of railway transport, the former railway line (now the Speyside Way footpath) passing the distillery's doors. |
