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.

First sip gives a warm amber glow, like old sherry casks meeting a whisper of leather and hay. I pick up Corinthian raisins, a touch of liquorice and bitter orange, with a faint sulphur note that mellows after a splash of water. There’s a farmyard earthiness, a hint of mud and rubbery touches, then a long finish of tannic ginger and old Armagnac depth. Feels a bit aggressive at first, but with tonic water it softens into a smooth, almost cigar‑like smoke. 🥃

深琥珀色看着挺诱人。 哇,这个有点猛啊。第一口那个aggressive的感觉直冲上来,苦橙子和陈年Cointreau的味道混在一起,还有点橡皮擦的触感…😅 能尝到Corinthian黑葡萄干的甜,ham的烟熏,加上oloroso雪莉的影子。 不过尾段那个化学感,像tonic water和奎宁的苦,久久不散。后面还有雪茄灰和旧皮革的联想。 得加点水…💧 加了之后好一些,但那个bitter和rubbery的触感还是顽固。 最后嘴里留下的,是农场干草、硫磺,还有点老款农业朗姆酒的影子?单宁感挺强,甘草和烟草味收尾。真是一杯复杂的酒。

Ginger and orange liqueurs hit first, then leather and tannic, quite aggressive. Bitter notes with mud, cigars, farmyard feels. Amber, oloroso, moderately sherried. Liquorice, rubbery touches, hay, tobacco. Finish bitter like tonic water with bitter oranges. A hint of rhum agricole? Oddly intriguing. 🤔

Oh mate, this whisky's got a real nice kick to it! 😋 First thing I taste is some honey and vanilla, with a bit of a smoky vibe underneath. It's smooth as anything, and leaves this warm, spicy feeling in the back of your throat. 🥃 Really cozy for a night in!

Oh, this one's got a right nice balance—starts off with a bit of sweet honey and vanilla, then comes through with a touch of oak and smoke. Quite warming on the finish, really. Cheers! 🥃😊 Sometimes a hint of fruit, like apple or pear, peeks in. Makes for a lovely evening sipper. 👍
