Edradour 12 Year Old Caledonia Single Malt Scotch Whisky
A Traditional Highland Single Malt with a Rich Sherry Character
The Edradour 12 Year Old Caledonia is a distinctive Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky that celebrates Scotland’s heritage, traditional whisky-making methods and the beauty of its homeland. Selected by renowned Scottish songwriter Dougie MacLean, this special small-batch release takes its name from his famous song, *Caledonia*, which expresses a deep affection for Scotland. Combining traditional craftsmanship with exceptional maturation, this whisky offers a rich and memorable experience for lovers of classic sherried single malts.
Dougie MacLean chose Edradour because the distillery perfectly represents the Scotland he celebrates in his music. Located in Perthshire, Edradour is known for its charming whitewashed buildings, traditional equipment and dedication to time-honoured distillation techniques. Consequently, the Caledonia edition captures the spirit of an older style of Scottish whisky production. Therefore delivering authenticity and character in every bottle.
Fully Matured in Oloroso Sherry Casks
One of the defining features of Edradour 12 Year Old Caledonia is its full maturation in carefully selected Oloroso Sherry casks. This extended maturation develops its rich fruit character, warming spices and beautifully balanced sweetness. Bottled at 46% ABV and presented without chill filtration, it retains its natural oils and flavour compounds. Thus providing excellent depth, texture and body.
Furthermore, its traditional production approach allows the whisky’s character to shine without unnecessary processing. The result is a beautifully rounded Highland single malt that appeals particularly to those who appreciate full-bodied, sherry-influenced Scotch whisky.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich aromas of sultanas and figs combine with delicate honey sweetness, creating an inviting and fruit-forward introduction.

Adding a little water reveals further complexity, allowing the fruity character and Oloroso sherry influence to develop beautifully. Its syrupy texture creates a wonderfully smooth and satisfying mouthfeel.
Finish: Gently warming, spicy and pleasantly dry, leaving a lasting impression of traditional sherried Highland whisky.
A Special Whisky for Traditional Scotch Enthusiasts
