Cragganmore was founded in 1869 by the manager of both Macallan and Glenlivet distilleries, John Smith. Located at the foot of the Craggan More hill, it draws its water from the Craggan Burn, close to the River Spey. The distillery is owned by Diageo and much of the spirit is used in its blended whiskies. The distinctive flavour of the whisky is partly due to the unusual shaped stills, which have a flat top.
