Caledonian 1965 - 45 Year Old - Hunter Hamilton - The Clan Denny - Single Cask 6294
Caledonian 1965. 45 Year Old. Bottled by Hunter Hamilton for their Clan Denny series. Cask number HH6294. 700ml. 46.1%.
The Caledonian grain whisky distillery was constructed in Edinburgh in 1855 by Menzies & Co. and joined the fledgling cartel Distillers Company Limited in 1884, by which time Caledonian was already producing around 9 million litres of spirit a year and was one of the largest distilleries in Scotland.
In the 20th century, Caledonian survived a Luftwaffe strike on its Haymarket warehouses in 1940 that resulted in a major fire, but closed soon after the notorious 1986 merger of DCL and Guinness that created United Distillers. Caledonian was shuttered in 1988, and the majority of the distillery’s buildings have since been converted into housing. Indie casks of Caledonian appeared regularly in the 2010s but are now uncommon.
Hunter Hamilton was a subsidiary of the Douglas Laing independent whisky bottling company, which was founded in the 1940s by Fred Douglas Laing Sr and is now run by Fred Laing Jr and his daughter Cara. Hunter Hamilton was used as a trading name for various Douglas Laing whisky ranges but was discontinued following the departure of Fred Laing’s brother Stewart Laing to found Hunter Laing in 2013.
Hunter Hamilton was most associated with The Sovereign, Clan Denny and Glen Denny ranges of aged malt and grain whiskies. Famous Hunter Hamilton bottlings include a series of extraordinary ancient grain whiskies under the Clan Denny label, a Glen Denny 1966 Bowmore and long-aged Port Ellen and Caol Ila in the Glen Denny and Sovereign ranges.
