Caperdonich 1969 50-Year-Old Rarest of the Rare Duncan Taylor
Built in 1898, Caperdonich was originally known as Glen Grant No. 2 with the spirit being used to support its more well-known namesake nearby. Whilst having the same equipment and water source, it produced a different spirit. Closed after only a few years in 1902, the distillery remained silent for the next six decades before being brought back to life. With the installation of new distilling technology and renamed Caperdonich the distillery moved forward. Sadly the site was closed for good in 2002 with the last building being removed in 2011, much of the distilling equipment is now fitted into other distilleries so the legacy of Caperdonich lives on. The nose is beautifully malty and sweet. On the palate you will find a frothy caramel latte topped with cinnamon. A long- lasting finish of soft gentle warm spices and sweet toasted oak notes round it off.
