Caperdonich Distillery
ABV 41.9%
A well knitted dram. On the fruit side. More complex than it appears. Oak is well integrated. A pity such a treasure is lost!

Finish: Pleasantly drier. Fresh liquorice.

Taster
Nose: Salicylic top notes. Celery? Furniture polish.
Palate: Chalky and thin. Chipboard. Dusty.
Finish: Not unpleasant. Wine like. Grape seeds?
