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.

Just had a dram that felt earthy with a hint of grass and grains, then a peppery kick at the back, a touch of lemon and ginger, finishing with warm milk and a whiff of cleaned rabbit hutch – weird but oddly comforting 😅

First sip hits with a warm milk softness, then a flash of lemon and geraniumy flowers. There's a grassy, hay‑like note that feels like a stroll through a farmyard, a hint of crushed mint leaves and a faint rubber bite on the finish. The fruity side shows some apple‑like fructose, while a ginger‑pepper spice sneaks in with a yeasty earthiness. Overall it feels very naturall, like being out in the countryside with a breeze over a cleaned rabbit hutch 🐇🌿

First sniff hits me with grains and a hint of malted barley, like walking through a hayfield after rain. There's a whiff of straw and a farmyard earthiness, plus a geraniumy floral note that reminds me of crushed mint leaves. On the palate I get a fruity side, maybe plum‑ish, with a gingery kick and a peppery bite in the aftertaste. A faint rubbery edge lingers, oddly comforting. Finishes warm, like warm milk with a touch of yeast. 🌾

Took a sip and immediately got this rubbery note on the nose, mixed with something earthy and a whiff of cleaned rabbit hutch – oddly charming, like a farmyard after rain. The malted barley and grains give it a solid base, but there's a gingery kick and a grassier edge that keeps things interesting. Lemon and geraniumy hints pop up on the fruity side, with apple peelings and a hint of plum spirit. The finish is warm, with a peppery sting that lingers, like a splash of warm milk and a dash of pepper. Natural and a bit wild, but in a good way – reminds me of a hayfield with a citrus twist 🍋

Took a sip and immediately got hit by this earthy, farmyard vibe – like walking through a hayfield after a rain. There's a real natural sweetness here, think apple peelings and fructose, with a fruity side that’s quite lively. The nose has this geraniumy floral touch mixed with crushed mint leaves, which is nice. On the palate, it’s malty and grainy, but not heavy. A warm milk note comes through weirdly, along with a hint of plum spirit. The finish is where it gets interesting – pepper in the aftertaste, gingery spice, and a subtle rubbery hint. Reminds me of an old shed, but in a good way. Straw and malted barley linger, with a zesty lemon kick. Nature’s all over this dram, really. 🌿🥃
