Cragganmore

A Venerable Speyside Icon

Cragganmore was established on the Ballindalloch Castle estate by the river Spey in 1869. Still just 36 at the time, founder ‘Big’ John Smith had previously managed Macallan, Glenlivet, Wishaw and Glenfarclas distilleries. He chose the site owing to its proximity to both the waters of Craggan burn and the railway of Strathspey, which would be vital to the distillery’s growth. The distillery itself was built from greenstone hewn from the hill of Cragan Mor after which it was named.
