Happy Whisky Wednesday, we’re back with another oldie goodie, the Caperdonich 20yo bottled for our Artist Range’s 10th Anniversary. Founded in 1897, the Caperdonich distillery was mothballed five years later. After reopening in 1965 under the name Glen Grant no. 2, it was dismantled in 2002 and demolished in 2010. Although produced in very limited quantities, this single malt is extremely well-renowned amongst enthusiasts. The slender first nose is a subtle combination of citrus fruit (lemon), vanilla, wildflower (dandelion), ripe fruit (pear) and spices (black pepper). Allowed to breathe, it becomes hot (Cayenne pepper), before new fruits (Mirabelle plum, pineapple, banana) enrich the fruity register of the first nose. The lively attack is lemony and fruity (canary melon). On the mid-palate, malted barley provides a marvellously herbaceous transition. The end of the palate is medicinal, vanilla and floral (lily). The full start of the finish is spicy (ginger), exotic (guava), honeyed (acacia) and herbaceous (flax). The end of the palate is mentholated, milky (coconut) and slightly animal (bacon). Simply stunning. #whisky #whiskysg #lmdw #lmdwartist #artist10 #caperdonich #caperdonichdistillery #caperdonichwhisky #exclusive #musthave #whiskywednesday #wednesday @maisonduwhisky @lamaisonandvelier
