Cragganmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Cragganmore is a renowned brand of single malt Scotch whisky originating from the Speyside region of Scotland. Founded in 1869 by John Smith, who was an experienced distiller from The Glenlivet and Macallan, the distillery was built specifically to take advantage of the Strathspey Railway. Today, Cragganmore remains an essential part of the whisky landscape, known for its complex and aromatic profile.

The production of Cragganmore 12 Year Old takes place exclusively at the Cragganmore Distillery in Ballindalloch, Banffshire, Scotland. The distillery utilizes unique flat-topped stills to create its signature rich and slightly smoky flavor. It is marketed as part of the 'Classic Malts of Scotland' selection, representing the best of the Speyside region.

While the brand has deep local roots, it is currently owned by Diageo, a global leader in beverage alcohol. Diageo acquired the brand through various corporate mergers involving its predecessor, United Distillers. As of 2024 and beyond, Diageo continues to oversee the production and global distribution of Cragganmore, maintaining its headquarters in London, United Kingdom.
