Complex Smokey Flavours Layred with Cedar and Orange .
Caperdonich 21 – 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 21 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 gentle peat and herbal tea leaves.
Gently peated, with a sophisticated smokiness adding an extra depth of flavour. Gentle peat and bonfire embers. Warm cedar and mandarin orange. Long, and smoky with subtle liquorice and herbal tea leaves.
