CALEDONIAN AGED 40 YEARS
From Edinburgh's distillery which fell silent in 1988, this very old single grain whisky is from a single barrel of just 291 original 700ml bottles. This 1976 vintage was bottled at full cask strength.
OFFICIAL TASTING NOTES
Nose: Maple syrup, sweet and distinctly spiced, ginger-style - plus late citrus.
Palate: Incredibly sugary with corn oil and vanilla.
Finish: All these flavours create a medley that is surprisingly long for a grain whisky.

ABOUT THE DISTILLERY
Once Europe's largest distillery, Caledonian distillery in Edinburgh was closed in 1988 and the buildings on the site were demolished in 1997 for the construction of a modern housing estate.
Originally, when built in 1855, the distillery was known as 'Edinburgh' distillery and was affectionately known as 'The Cally'.
