One of the first Speyside
malts, recently also issued with a ruby port finish (in a limited
Distiller’s Edition). Cragganmore is less widely known than might be
expected, though it has gained a wider appreciation in recent years as one
of UDV’s six “Classic Malts”. The distillery, founded in 1869-70, is very
pretty, hidden in a hollow high on the Spey. Its water, from nearby
springs, is relatively hard, and its spirit stills have an unusual,
flat-topped shape. These two elements may be factors in the complexity of
the malt. The usual version, from re-fill sherry casks, some more
sherried independent bottlings, and the new port finish, are each in their
own ways almost equal delights. Cragganmore is a component of Old Parr.
HOUSE STYLE
Austere, stonily dry, aromatic. After dinner.
