Caledonian (Silent) Duncan Taylor Rare Auld Single Cask #7823876 Whisky 34 Year Old · 1987 Vintage
In stock
This 34 year old was distilled at the now-closed Caledonian Distillery in 1987 and bottled at 52.7% ABV from cask number 7823876. Matured for over three decades in oak, it comes from some of the last remaining stocks produced before the distillery’s closure.
Drawn from a single oak cask and bottled without dilution, the long maturation highlights the depth and elegance that extended ageing can bring to Lowland grain whisky. The character centres on smooth, mature grain sweetness with developed oak influence, soft fruit and gentle spice, delivering a refined and well-balanced expression from a silent distillery.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Warm amber-gold with a sunlit honey glow and bronze undertones.
Nose
Polished oak and creamy grain lead the nose, unveiling soft orchard fruit and honeyed sweetness. Vanilla and toffee weave through, touched by a gentle spice—nutmeg and white pepper—while delicate oak notes and a whisper of dried fruit reveal the decades-long maturation.
Palate
Silky, medium-bodied on the palate, with mature grain sweetness wrapped in polished oak. Notes of ripe pear and orchard fruit, a whisper of vanilla, and gentle cinnamon spice. Creamy texture, refined balance, and a long, softly spiced finish.
Finish
Long and graceful, the finish unfolds a silky grain sweetness that glides through refined oak. Soft fruit lingers, then a delicate spice emerges and slowly fades to a warm, polished finish.
