This was the first distillery to be granted a Royal Warrant (by William IV), and is found on the Cawdor Estate near Nairn. It is only bottled by its proprietor in small quantities. In Crow, Ted Hughes writes about \"The after-rale of a shot fired among conifers in rainy twilight\" This captures it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first nose is vaguely of gun-smoke (with some liquorice), and with water this becomes the steely smell of shot-gun barrels.
