- Description
- Distilled in 1987 at Caledonian, a Lowland grain distillery that closed just one year later, this 31-year-old single grain spent its entire maturation in a single hogshead before bottling at 50.2% ABV in May 2018. A rare window into the character of a now-defunct Scottish grain producer.
