Caperdonich Distillery, whose name derives from the Gaelic for 'secret well,' stood on the banks of the River Spey in Rothes, Speyside. Founded in 1897 by James Grant as 'Glen Grant #2,' it operated intermittently before its permanent closure in 2002 and eventual demolition in 2010. This 'lost distillery' remained steadfast in traditional production methods while others expanded, crafting a Speyside single malt characterized by delicate fruity notes, honeyed sweetness, and a distinctive waxy texture. Though the physical structure no longer exists, its legacy endures through rare independent bottlings highly prized by collectors. The remaining stocks, primarily matured in ex-bourbon casks, offer a glimpse into a bygone era of whisky making, with each bottle representing an increasingly scarce piece of Scotch whisky history. The legend of Lord Ross and his daughter's lover adds an air of romantic mystery to this already enigmatic distillery's story.

Lovely wee dram 🥃 Soft honey and vanilla first, then a bit of oak and gentle spice. Feels warm, cosy, and a touch smokey at the end. Nice on a quiet evening.

Got a wee nip here, proper coastal vibe 🌊 First sniff's all brine n' a whisper of smoked heather, maybe a touch of old leather. Taste is... blimey. Sweet dates and a cheeky oak spice, then somethin' round like melted toffee. Finish lingers with a warm chili tingle and that lovely salty drift. Sippin' this feels like a drizzly walk by the shore — bonnie stuff. 🥃✨

Oh right, this one’s got a proper nose on it! 🥃 Getting quite a lot of vanilla and maybe a bit of honey, with a faint whiff of something like damp autumn leaves. On the palate, it’s got a gentle warmth, a bit like stewed apples with a dash of cinnamon. There’s a soft, almost creamy texture too. Finish is medium-length, leaving a lovely memory of toasted oak and a subtle nuttiness. Quite moreish, really. 🍂

Oh wow, this whisky's got such a warm, smoooth flavour – kinda like honey and a bit of spice? Really warms me up on a chilly night. 🥃 Sometimes I get hints of vanilla or something fruity too, but it's hard to tell. Just feels proper comforting, ya know? 😊

Right, this one's got a real cozy vibe. 🥃 Smoky like a bonfire, with a hint of sweet fruit and honey. Spicy kick at the end, but smooth overall. Perfect for a quiet night in. 😊 Sometimes I get a bit of vanilla and oak, too. Really moorish, innit? Toatly love it. 👍
