Cragganmore - About Whisky - Malt - www.scotchwhisky.com |
 | | John Smith, the founder of Cragganmore Distillery, is said to have been the most experienced distiller of his day. |
 | | Cragganmore (the name of the hill behind the distillery, whose springs supply the water for production) was the first distillery to be deliberately sited to take advantage of railway transport, and a private siding was built on the Strathspey railway to accomadate distillery traffic. |
 | | In 1923, Gordon's widow sold the distillery to the Cragganmore Distillery Co. Ltd., a susidiary of White Horse Distillers Ltd. Now the licensed distillers are D & J McCallum Ltd. of Edinburgh who for many years exported Cragganmore mainly to Australia and New Zealand. |
