Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 46.6%
A fantastic single cask 1982 Caperdonich bottled as a 36-year-old without colouring or chill filtration in 2019 by Gordon & MacPhail for their Private Collection Series.
This 36-year-old Caperdonich 1982 a matured in refill bourbon barrel #15179, yielding just 114 bottles at its natural cask strength of 46.6%. Caperdonich was built as a back-up to Glen Grant, and was largely unknown during its short operational lifetime, but its whisky has proven to age beautifully and long-aged new releases from the dwindling supply of remaining casks are now highly sought after.

Tasting Notes
Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Soft and gentle aromas of citrus peel and traces of toffee combine with sweet hay and dried flower notes. Nuances of honeysuckle emerge, balanced by fresh highlights of newly-harvested mint.
Palate: Gentle flavours of liquorice root initially. Crisp red apple notes emerge; a drying oak undertone lingers before nutty notes surface. A generous sweetness remains.
Finish: Sweet flavours evolve into a refreshing element akin to newly-harvested hops. Mature oak endures on the finish.
