The name Caoran comes from the Gaelic for 'Peat Ember'- reflecting the special character of this single malt. Its inspiration comes from times past and the pioneering ways of the Glenfiddich malt men who in the days of coal shortages used greater amounts of peat to dry the malted barley. The resulting earthy smokiness perfectly compliments the fruit notes so characteristic of Glenfiddich Single Malt.
