Caledonian in Edinburgh is another lost Lowland grain distillery, closing its doors in 1988 and with the site subsequently redeveloped for housing - today little more than the distillery's towering smokestack remains.
During its operational lifetime, Caledonian supplied grain whisky for DCL blends but was deemed surplus to requirements after the Guinness takeover. Thankfully there are still some casks remaining, though how many more there'll be is anyone's guess.
Kudos to Signatory, then, for digging up this splendid 32-year-old Caledonian distilled in 1987, the year before the distillery's closure. 204 bottles have survived the intervening decades in cask 23482 at a natural cask strength of 52%.

Another cracker from Signatory. This is a step up from the already excellent 16yr for me. All the same great flavours but richer with a longer finish. Worth the bump in price and one of the best sherried whiskies I’ve tried.
