Secret of Speyside makes us discover rare and unique expressions. Among them, this 18-year-old Caperdonich from their Peated range. This expression has aged for 18 years in American oak barrels before being bottled non-chillfiltered, to keep all the intensity of the flavours.


Its tasting plays between the smoky peat and fruity and sweet notes, characteristic of Speyside.

About Caperdonich

Caperdonich Distillery was a Speyside whisky distillery located in Rothes, Scotland, and was part of the Chivas Brothers portfolio under Pernod Ricard. Originally established in 1898 as Glen Grant No. 2, it was renamed Caperdonich in 1965 after being reopened following decades of closure.


Known for its fruity and rich Speyside character, Caperdonich produced single malts as well as whiskies used in Chivas blends. The distillery ceased operations in 2002 and was demolished in 2011, marking the end of its physical presence in the whisky world.


However, its legacy lives on through rare single malt releases that are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts.
