Smokey bonfire meets the sweets, fruity speyside style
CAPERDONICH 18 – 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 18 year old small batch release single malt was matured in American Oak barrels. Individually numbered, each bottle is non-chill filtered and sits at 48% ABV. This whisky encapsulates the vanished distillery’s signature style of orchard fruit flavours with leading notes of smoky bonfire and peat.
Smoky bonfire comes together with the classic sweet and fruity Speyside style. This rare and robust Single Malt is subtly layered with initial aromas of peat, followed by a taste of apple and brown sugar, gentle ginger and warming orange.
