Cragganmore is a Scotch whisky distillery situated in the village of Ballindalloch in Banffshire, Scotland.
The distillery was founded in 1869 by John Smith on land leased from Sir George Macpherson-Grant. The site was chosen by Smith both for its proximity to the waters of the Craggan burn and because it was close to the Strathspey Railway. Smith was an experienced distiller, having already been manager of the Macallan, Glenlivet, Glenfarclas and Wishaw distilleries.
The Strathspey Railway is now disused and forms the Speyside Way long-distance walking route.
Cragganmore was marketed by United Distillers under their Classic Malts brand. United Distillers has since become a part of Diageo.
