Gragganmore Whiskey 12 Years 0.7L, a single malt whiskey that embodies the essence of the Cragganmore Distillery, Located in the picturesque Scottish Highlands.

Cragganmore Distillery was founded in 1869 by John Smith, a renowned master distiller with extensive experience in the whiskey industry. Smith carefully chose the location of the distillery in the Speyside uplands, near the River Spey, due to the quality of the water and the abundance of peat in the region. These key factors play a crucial role in the distinctive flavor profile of Cragganmore whiskies.

The production of Gragganmore Whiskey 12 Years 0.7L begins with the careful selection of malted barley. Only the highest quality barley is used, which is soaked in local spring water to start the malting process. The barley is then dried with peat smoke, giving the whiskey a subtle smoky undertone to its final flavor.

After malting, the barley is ground and mixed with hot water in a large mash vat to release the fermentable sugars. The resulting liquid, known as wort, is transferred to the fermentation vats, where yeast is added to start the fermentation process. The Cragganmore Distillery uses unique yeasts that have been carefully selected and cultivated to add nuance and complexity to the flavor profile of the whiskey.

Once fermentation is complete, the fermented must undergoes double distillation in traditional copper stills. Cragganmore stills are distinctively shaped, with downward-sloping swan necks that help condense the vapors and allow greater interaction with the aromatic compounds. This unique distillation technique contributes to the smoothness and complexity of Gragganmore 12 Year Old Whiskey 0.7L.

After distillation, the whiskey is placed in American and European oak barrels that have previously contained bourbon and sherry, respectively. The whiskey rests for at least 12 years in the distillery's cellars, allowing the flavors to merge and develop over time. During this maturation process, the whiskey takes on subtle notes of vanilla, dried fruits and spices, which add to its unique character.
