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.
