Macaloney's Caledonian Searaidh Braiche

Graeme Macaloney, inspired by a summer job bottling whisky, founded Victoria's Caledonian Distillery after studying Irish pot still methods and learning from Dr. Jim Swan. Their first Sherry cask-matured single malt, Caledonian Searaidh Braiche, is aged in Oloroso and Pedro Ximenes STR casks. These special casks, developed by Dr. Swan, add intense Sherry and oak notes, promoting oxygenation through charcoal filtering. The full-bodied whiskey features rich oak tannins, tropical fruits, malted barley, and a long, complex finish with a Sherry kick and a hint of brine.
