Caperdonich Peated 1997 Vintage 26 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a remarkable expression from the now-closed Caperdonich distillery, renowned for its peated Scotch whiskies. This particular vintage from 1997, matured in American oak barrels and bottled at cask strength without chill-filtration, encapsulates the distillery's mastery in crafting peated malts with a unique balance of rich flavors and smoky undertones.

Exquisite Maturation Process:

The American oak barrels used for maturation enrich the whisky with a complex blend of sweetness and traditional oakiness, which beautifully complements the peaty character of the spirit. The lack of chill-filtration preserves the whisky's original flavors and textures, enhancing its authenticity and depth.

Tasting Experience:

  • Nose: The whisky opens with a rich aroma of orange and cranberry jam, layered with notes of honeycomb and the distinctive bonfire smoke that is synonymous with peated whiskies.
  • Palate: On the palate, Caperdonich Peated 1997 offers a luxurious texture featuring flavors of poached pears and ginger jam, intertwined with the earthy richness of roasted chestnuts and the ever-present sweet peat smoke.
  • Finish: The finish is enduring, sweet and smoky, providing a satisfying and memorable closure to the tasting experience.
