It used a continuously operating Coffey Still to produce grain whisky. From 1867, two large Pot Stills complemented the equipment, producing an Irish-style grain whisky popular with blenders; these stills remained in operation until around 1900. Caledonian closed in 1988. Parts of the buildings were later converted into flats, while the tall chimney was preserved as a historic landmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSignatory Vintage was founded in 1988 by Andrew Symington and his brother. Andrew’s interest in distinctive single-cask whiskies developed while he was working at Prestonfield House Hotel in Edinburgh. After acquiring Edradour in 2002, the company moved its entire operation to Pitlochry by 2007 and added warehouse capacity there. Selecting rare casks is a particular focus of this independent bottler. Andrew Symington oversaw the Caledonian chosen for this anniversary edition for decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFacts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAge\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e50 years\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eScotland\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct category\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eWhisky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSmoke\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNot smoky\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMetal tin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eProduct type\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSingle Grain\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eRegion\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eLowlands\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e0.7 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e52.6%\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eDistillation year\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e1976\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eMarket operator\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003ebringts Schweiz GmbH, Steinrain 18, 4112 Flüh\/CH\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottler\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSignatory Vintage\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottling year\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e2026\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eColouring\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask strength or high alcohol content\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask Strength Collection\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask size\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eHogshead\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eChill filtration\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eAllergens\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eOrganic certification\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCask number\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e900005\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBottle count\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e213\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003eCaledonian\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd\u003eDistillation date\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd\u003e10 April 1976\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Caledonian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57630933221749,"sku":"123891","price":348.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0362\/8734\/8871\/files\/617133f2a48cb115ad2adc25de330fe1.webp?v=1791284577","url":"https:\/\/www.bringts.ch\/en\/products\/caledonian-1976-2026-50-y-o-single-grain-hogshead-900005-sig-cs-50th-anniversary-kirsch-import","provider":"bringts.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
