Tasting Notes: Caperdonich 17 Year Old
Caperdonich 17 year old single malt Scotch whisky, a limited edition release distilled in 1995 and left to rest for 17 years before being bottled in 2012 with only 96 bottles filled.
Nose: Seems quite simple at first with the initial hit of sweet oak and vanilla. Leave it for a few moments and the tropical fruit & sweet peppery notes lift from the glass to the nose getting more complex and developed with every nose. Banana, vanilla & spiced pepper followed by a lingering of sweet pepper chilli & oak at the back of the nose.
Taste: Creamy, spicy pepper notes all around the mouth, softens off gradually showing its sweet oak, vanilla flavours once again.
Finish: Warm, spicy notes with sweeter flavours to follow.
Overall: A dram that leaves you wanting for more.
