Region:Scotland > Speyside
This 70 year old "Blended Malt" is part of a range of whiskies released by Gordon & MacPhail to highlight what they are doing at The Cairn Distillery. The distillery's own whiskies won't be ready for some time, but in the interim they have created bottlings to show what the spirit might be like in 12, 18, 25, 30, 40, 57, and 70 years. The Cairn Distillery sits at 57 degrees north latitude-wise, hence the name CRN57 for these releases. 45% 92.5pts Whiskybase & 93pts Whisky Fun
Producer Description
"Welcome to the oldest blended Scotch whisky in the world! Picture the scene: the year is 2092 and The Cairn distillery has just released a 70 year old single malt. The CRN57° 70-year-old provides clove spice and orange blossom aromas, transitioning to exotic fruit and tobacco, with Seville orange peel and mint on the palate and finish.
"With our ‘70’, you can skip the wait and sample what may be the future flavours now, courtesy of this extraordinary blended malt Scotch whisky, presented in a timelessly elegant decanter. This release reflects both our history and our vision for the future."
