Carsebridge 42 Years Old 1960 - Chieftain's

Forgotten for over thirty years, this Oloroso Sherry hogshead of single grain whisky from the Carsebridge distillery was discovered by Master Blender, gordon Doctor.
A truelt exceptional whisky from a unique cask slowly matured and reduced naturally over the years at the distillery until 1997 when the cask was transferred to our Edinburgh warehouse.
Carsebridge distillery, closed in 1983, was a traditional malt distillery with its own malting when built in 1799 by John Bald. Fifty years later the distillery was turned into a raw grain distillery, at a time when blended whisky became very popular and demand for grain whisky was high. The pure water used at the distillery came from the Gartmorn Dam, a reservoir close by. Around 150 men used to work at the distillery, employing traditional methods across the entire production process, from the preparation of the grain in the kiln to the still houses with their elegant Coffey's patent Stills.
