The Cairn

SCOTCH SINGLE MALT WHISKIES > C

KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY.
The Cairn is owned by Gordon & MacPhail, a fourth-generation family business. Starting out back in the 19th Century as shop owners, we have grown to be wholesalers, whisky bottlers and distillery owners. But throughout this growth we have always kept true to our origins and remain an independent family business firmly rooted in the local community.

The intention is to produce an unpeated single malt from the 2 traditional wash stills and 4 spirit stills. Capacity 2.000.000 Ltrs

First manager is Mhairi Winters formerly from Balvenie and Kininvie. The first whisky is expected in the mid 2030s.

CRN57°
Every journey must start somewhere. Ours begins at 57 degrees North of the equator which has inspired the name of our first whiskies.

Available to taste and buy only at The Cairn Distillery, CRN57° is a range of Scotch whiskies created by our master blenders giving you a chance to discover notes, flavours and aromas you’ll eventually experience in the first expressions produced at The Cairn. Taste tomorrow, today.

CRN57° CORE RANGE WHISKY
12YO/18YO/25YO/30YO
Our core range offers a sweet palate, with hints of pepper and oak as we move up the age ranges.

On the nose, you can expect fruit, spice and subtle candied undertones.

CRN57 Bottle
CRN57 Premium
CRN57° PREMIUM WHISKY
57YO/70YO
The premium ages offers stewed fruit scents with hints of sweet caramel, aged oak and aged leather.

Smooth on the palate, roasted coffee bean combines with a hint of dried tobacco and an undertone of cracked black pepper.
