曾于Macallan、Glenlivet与Wishaw三家蒸馏厂担任经理人的John Smith 于1869年成立Cragganmore酒厂，然而120年来Cragganmore一直是调和威士忌的基酒之一，直到1988 年才脱颖而出，开始以其单一麦芽闻名于世，知名威士忌大师Michael Jackson从来没有给过Cragganmore 任何一支低于90 分的评价，可见其酒质之优异。

Cragganmore 29 yo: Very flowery and very fruity, which is incredible considering its age. Lots of tropical fruits: pineapple, guava, tons of light breakfast honey. Extremely fresh! Develops on melon and peach, freshly squeezed oranges… A nectar. Whiffs of white pepper from the wood. What a perfect balance! Hints of peat? Stunning attack on fresh fruit salad and white pepper. Bold, rich, yet clean and fresh. This one really proves that there’s life without some heavy sherry in Speyside. Long, beautifully balanced finish on pollen, and white pepper. I like it a lot!
