This 27 year old Caperdonich Unpeated single malt has been matured in first fill American oak barrels, bottled at cask strength and without chill-filtration. Aromas of fresh ginger and zesty lemon are brilliantly balanced with notes of creamy milk chocolate.
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.
