- Description
- Caledonian's 35-year maturation from 1987 to 2022 in a single hogshead represents grain whisky at its most patient and subtle, with the refill cask allowing the spirit's age and complexity to shine without aggressive oak. The result is a delicate balance of honey, dried fruit, and soft spice underpinned by the characteristic sweetness of grain. A dignified expression for those with time and curiosity to explore how grain whisky evolves across decades.
