- Description
- Caledonian's 45-year-old from 1965 is an exceptionally old grain whisky, distilled during a different era of Scottish spirit-making and matured in a single bourbon barrel. Five decades of age has created remarkable refinement in grain spirit, softening the typical sweetness into something elegant and delicate. Reserved for serious collectors pursuing rare expressions that demonstrate grain whisky's capacity for longevity.
