Part of Diageo's Special Releases 2015, the Caledonian The Cally 40yo is a distinguished single grain Scotch whisky. Distilled in 1974 at the historic Caledonian Distillery in Edinburgh, affectionately known as "The Cally," this whisky represents a piece of whisky history. The Caledonian Distillery, founded in 1855, was once the second-largest distillery in the United Kingdom. Although it closed its doors in 1988, its legacy lives on through limited releases like this one. This expression, matured for 40 years in refill American bourbon hogsheads and bottled at cask strength of 53.3% ABV, is among only 5,060 bottles available worldwide. With its toasty and oaky profile, it offers aromas of toffee popcorn, grilled pineapple, and honeycomb without being overly heavy. This special release is a true testament to the craftsmanship and heritage of the Caledonian Distillery.
The ABV (Alcohol by Volume) is 53.3%.
Only 5,060 bottles were produced worldwide.
The key tasting notes include aromas of coconut, fudge, caramel candies, syrup, and vanilla with flavors of caramel, buttery wood, dates, cinnamon, and honey, finishing with creamy vanilla.
Founded in 1855 in Edinburgh, the Caledonian Distillery was once the second-largest in the UK. It produced grain whisky until its closure in 1988. This distillery is remembered for its significant contribution to the whisky industry.
The Caledonian The Cally 40yo Diageo Special Releases 2015 is a magnificent example of a well-aged single grain whisky. Despite not being a typical grain whisky enthusiast, this expression has won me over with its vibrant and aromatic profile. The mix of tropical fruits, creamy vanilla, and subtle woody undertones creates an incredibly pleasurable and memorable drinking experience. It's not just a whisky but a piece of history that I highly recommend to serious enthusiasts and collectors alike.
