1974 The Cally 40 Year Old (Special Release 2015) Cask Strength Single Grain Scotch Whisky 700ml

700mL @ 53.3 % ABV

The Cally (as the locals called it) makes its debut as part of Diageo's Special Releases in 2015. This extraordinary 40 year old is also one of the oldest expressions ever offered from this dark horse distillery, otherwise known as "The Caledonian", based in Edinburgh and closed in 1988. Not surprisingly, bottlings of any kind are rare. This edition was distilled in 1974 (likely from majority corn) followed by maturation in refill American oak hogsheads. Bottled at natural strength, just over 5000 bottles are available worldwide.
