Tasting Notes

A remarkable gem from the now-defunct Caledonian distillery, this 40-year-old single grain whisky captivates with its intricate aromas and flavors. The nose unveils a delightful fusion of coconut, candy lipstick, and rich, spicy treacle, reminiscent of the beloved Werther's Originals candies. On the palate, bitter caramel takes center stage, accompanied by warming wood spices, dates, and a hint of cinnamon. As the finish unfolds, creamy vanilla lingers, leaving a delightfully sweet and indulgent impression. Affectionately nicknamed "The Cally" by those who worked at the distillery, this rare and coveted release stands as a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and aging potential of single grain whiskies, offering a truly unique and unforgettable experience for discerning enthusiasts.
