CRN57 Vision

The Cairn Distillery is a modern Speyside Scotch whisky distillery near Grantown-on-Spey, owned by the historic family company Gordon & MacPhail, and it officially opened in 2022 as the first new-build distillery in the Cairngorms National Park. Designed with contemporary architecture that blends into its natural surroundings, it produces single malt whisky that will mature for many years before release, while currently offering CRN57 blended malt whiskies that showcase the intended future style.

Vision by name and by nature, this elegant blended malt from The Cairn’s CRN57° range offers a snapshot of the distillery’s future potential. It’s bright and contemporary, with fresh fruit and creamy sweetness leading the way. Easy to sip and beautifully balanced, it’s an inviting introduction to The Cairn’s developing house style.

This whisky shows a bright, youthful nose of blueberry and green apple, softened by smooth vanilla cream. The palate is fresh and lively, with zesty citrus leading into gentle malt sweetness and crisp orchard fruit. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a softly sweet impression that fades gracefully.
