Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep, luminous amber with copper-gold highlights and a honey-bronze glow, evoking autumn sunlight on aged oak.

Nose

An inviting bouquet of coconut cream and caramelized sugar leads, brightened by vanilla and a whisper of toffee. Spices—cinnamon, nutmeg, clove—weave through polished oak, delivering a refined, time-worn sweetness. A hint of orchard fruit and subtle sherry-cask depth lingers, hinting at elegance and the legacy of four decades in the cask.

Palate

Silky and lavish on the palate, this grain whisky unfolds with coconut cream leading toffee-like caramel and a cascade of baking spices. Luxuriously smooth with velvety texture, subtle oak, and a gentle warmth that carries through a long, contemplative finish—resonant with memory and time, a refined balance of sweetness and spice that lingers.

Finish

An opulent, lingering finish that unfolds with coconut cream and caramel, threaded with warm spices. Velvet oak and a whisper of sherry carry the sweetness into a long, refined fade, leaving dried-fruit notes, almond, and a final kiss of nutmeg and cinnamon.

Caledonian (Silent)
(cal-uh-dow-nee-unn) Caledonian was founded in 1855 in Edinburgh’s Haymarket district, originally under the name Edinburgh Distillery before becoming better known as “The Cally”. Built during the growth of continuous distillation in Scotland, it became one of the country’s largest grain whisky distilleries and produced whisky for the blending trade using a large Coffey still, alongside two large pot stills used for an Irish-style grain whisky.
