This is a 25 year old Cragganmore single malt from Speyside, in a 70cl bottle at 51.4% ABV. It comes from the Special Releases series. The bottling is numbered individually, with 3,372 bottles worldwide. Cragganmore was built in 1870 by John Smith, who had worked at several distilleries before it, most recently Glenfarclas. Its malt was in demand from the start, and for a long time it went mainly into blends, yet the distillery always stayed small.
