- Description
- Caledonian was a grain distillery founded in 1855 in Edinburgh, home to Europe's largest patent still before closing in 1988. This 33-year-old represents a rare window into Scottish grain whisky production from a now-demolished site. Aged in ex-bourbon casks, it offers the characteristic lightness and subtle sweetness typical of grain whisky, with extended maturation adding layers of vanilla, orchard fruit, and gentle oak spice. The texture is refined and elegant, with a clean, lingering finish. Ideal for those exploring the underappreciated category of aged grain whisky or collectors seeking closure on a vanished distillery.
