Cragganmore distillery is located in Spesyide, where it produces one of the most complex whisky in the entire region thanks to its special stills whose flat-tipped shape is really rare and refined. The distillery was founded by John Smith in 1898 during the whisky boom.
John, former manager of the Macallan, Glenlivet and Wishaw distilleries, as well as owner of the Glenfarclas distillery, convinced his landlord, Sir George Macpherson-Grant, to lease the land to build a new distillery in Ballindalloch next to the Strathspey railway line.
After several years of closure, mainly due to the Second World War, the distillery resumed production in the 1960s, while the turning point was 1972 when the famous flat-tip stills were installed.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
