Caperdonich Small Batch Release Peated 25 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

About This Whisky

The Caperdonich 25 Year Old Peated Small Batch Release is a rare single malt Scotch whisky from the Speyside region of Scotland, bottled at 45.5% ABV and non-chill filtered.
This peated expression was initially available through duty-free channels and represents one of the final stocks from the long-closed Caperdonich Distillery.
Official tasting notes describe aromas and flavours of green apple, sweet pear, vanilla, and bonfire smoke with a touch of salt.

Distillation ceased in 2002, and the distillery has since been dismantled, making well-aged releases like this highly sought after among collectors and enthusiasts.

About the Distillery

Caperdonich Distillery, originally established in 1898, operated intermittently until its closure in 2002.
Situated adjacent to Glen Grant in Rothes, Speyside, Caperdonich was initially designed to produce a similar light, floral style of spirit, though later developed its own distinct character marked by soft pear, cream, and gentle smoke.
Today, remaining casks are owned by Pernod Ricard and released under the Secret Speyside Collection, preserving the legacy of this lost distillery.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Green apple, pear, vanilla, and gentle smoke.
Palate: Sweet fruit with vanilla and toasted oak, balanced by soft peat and minerality.
Finish: Lingering bonfire smoke with a hint of salt.
