It was more the proximity of the railway than the presence of a water source that decided the location of the Cragganmore distillery. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 This is on the grounds of Ballindalloch Castle. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 Its founder John Smith was one of the most experienced distillers of his time. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 Before founding Cragganmore, he directed Glenfarclas, The Glenlivet and The Macallan, among others. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 Passionate about this new invention that was the railway, he even built a railway line to the distillery for the transport of coal and barrels. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 John Smith was a man of weight, in every sense of the word. 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48 A strong personality coupled with a no less imposing volume (135 kilos). He could not, because of his corpulence, borrow the wagons intended for passengers and was reduced to traveling in those reserved for goods! 4df5d4d9d819b397555d03cedf085f48
