Cragganmore, founded by the legendary John Smith in 1869, is for many the definitive Speyside malt. For malt whisy writer Michael Jacson, it has "the most complex aroma of any malt...astonishingly fresh and delicate".Back in the 1920's this was voted the finest of all Scottish Malt Distillers' malts by their blenders, being titled "A1" for blending. On tasting it. it's not hard to see what those blenders saw. Mature and well balanced, with an astonishingly fragrant aroma, the slight fruitiness on the palate is overlaid with sweet, smoky notes with hints of sandalwood. A long finish packed with hints of smoky sweetness brings this delightful, refined experience - so accessible, yet so rewarding, gently to a close. Complexity married to such refinement is not easily found. This is truly a Classic Malt - still the leading Speyside that John Smith set out to create.
Cragganmore 由傳奇人物 John Smith 於 1869 年創立，對許多人來說，它是 Speyside 麥芽威士忌的典範。麥芽威士忌作家 Michael Jacson 曾評價它「擁有所有麥芽威士忌中最複雜的香氣……令人驚豔的清新細膩」。早在 20 世紀 20 年代，這款酒就被調酒師評選為蘇格蘭所有麥芽酒中最優質的，並被授予“A1”調配等級。品嚐後，不難看出調酒師對它的鍾愛。這款酒成熟均衡，香氣芬芳，略帶果香，並伴隨甜美的煙燻氣息，以及一絲檀香的氣息。悠長的餘味，充滿淡淡的煙燻甜味，為這令人愉悅的精緻體驗——如此平易近人，卻又如此令人回味無窮——畫上圓滿句號。如此精緻的複雜口感並非易事。這確實是一款經典麥芽威士忌 - 仍然是約翰史密斯 (John Smith) 著手打造的領先斯佩塞威士忌。
