When visiting the distillery shortly after it opened, I was under the impression that this range was only going to be available at the visitor centre itself. So, maybe it was originally produced with a certain customer in mind? #TheCairnDistillery

The 12 y/o and 18 y/o are great value for money. The 30 y/o, although still very good, lacked a certain something for me. The 25 y/o is a belter of a dram #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 4: on the palate, strawberry jam, Blackjack sweeties and fresh ginger #TheCairnDistillery

Possibly. It does feel as though the sherry cask influence is less on this one #TheCairnDistillery

There are a few 30+ year old blended malts out there. Not all at this excellent price point though 😊#TheCairnDistillery

It's more timid than the other three imo #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 4 - actually finding this lighter and fresher than the 25 y/o #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 4 - 30 y/o: on the nose, quite shy at first. Then toffee apples; hint of aniseed balls; wet stones (?) #TheCairnDistillery

Definitely those musty notes akin to some of the old blends I'm used to drinking #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 1: there's a chilli note on the finish making it a wee bit burny (technical term) #TheCairnDistillery

Dram 1 has notes of apple and blackberry crumble with vanilla ice cream. Actually, I reckon this would pair well with that 😊

Dram 1, on the palate, some lovely blackcurrant notes appear. Like undiluted Ribena #TheCairnDistillery
