Caperdonich 20 Year Old single malt Scotch whisky matured in a small 70-litre sherry Octave cask. Distilled 1992 & bottled by Duncan Taylor in 2012. Caperdonich Caperdonich Distillery was founded in 1897 & its two stills were fired up a year later. Caperdonich Distillery was situated beside the North of Scotland Railway in the north west corner of Rothes in Scotland’s Speyside whisky region & was established at a time when whisky sales were on the up & up. But Caperdonich Distillery opened just as whisky sales crashed & subsequent wars & prohibition inhibited its recovery. & having closed in 1902 it remained mothballed until 1965 when the stills were fired up once again. It closed once more in 2002, & now that we have finally come to appreciate the complexity & depth of Caperdonich malt whisky.. .... demolished in 2011. Caperdonich whisky was intended primarily for blended scotch but a small volume has been released by independent bottles as Caperdonich single malt whisky. A lost Scottish Speyside malt whisky distillery. Before: lemongrass, citrus, vanilla, carrot cake. After: bacon, soft smoke, cherries, ginger snaps.
