Caperdonich
Tasting Notes
Prepare to be transported to the rugged Scottish coastline with Caperdonich's 20-Year-Old 1997 expression from La Distillerie Générale. Imagine breathing in the salty sea air mingled with the smoky aroma of a crackling bonfire, as crisp green apples add a refreshing note. On the palate, a bold and ashen peatiness embraces your senses, accompanied by the savory essence of seaweed and grilled fruits. Spicy anise, dark berries, and the lingering warmth of burning embers create a captivating complexity. The finish is a harmonious fusion of earthy peat, toasted oak, warm spices, and a robust, nutty maltiness that lingers delightfully. This exceptional single malt, distilled in 1997 and matured for two decades in an American oak barrel, is a true testament to the art of independent bottling, with its elegant embroidered label adorning each of the 468 precious 350ml bottles.
