Orchard fruit notes infused with bonfire smoke and hint of salt.
Caperdonic 25 – Peated
Caperdonich, the ‘Secret Well’ in Gaelic, is no more. Built on the banks of the river Spey, this distillery was taken down brick by brick in 2011. Whilst the building may be gone, the distiller’s craft lives on, in two extraordinary ranges of peated and unpeated whiskies. Seize this rare opportunity to compare them side by side, as once gone, there will never be another.
Caperdonich’s peated 25 year old small batch release single malt was matured in Oak hogsheads. Individually numbered, each bottle is non-chill filtered and at natural cask strength. This whisky encapsulates the vanished distillery’s signature style of orchard fruit flavours with leading notes of peat smoke and sweet pear.
Gently peated, with a sophisticated smokiness adding an extra depth of flavour. Rich notes of peat smoke balanced by green apple and sweet pear. Bonfire aromas and a hint of salt leading to a long and smooth finish.
