The Caperdonich 1972 DT Rare Auld #7414 embodies the pinnacle of the Speyside distillery's craftsmanship. Bottled by the esteemed Duncan Taylor in 2010, this 37-year-old single malt Scotch whisky is an exquisite representation of both heritage and rarity. With only 147 bottles ever produced, this limited edition release is a prized possession for collectors and connoisseurs alike. Boasting an ABV of 56.5%, this whisky captivates with its unique and complex flavor profile. On the nose, it reveals an exotic bouquet with dominant notes of mango, passion fruit, and pineapple, complemented by hints of honey, camphor, and vanilla. The aroma is enriched further with undertones of mint, humus, and tobacco, creating a multi-layered sensory experience. The palate, while slightly austere, presents a robust flavor journey featuring citrus zest, old warehouse impressions, and a touch of motor oil. This is balanced by sweeter notes of pineapple, papaya, and syrupy licorice. The complexity deepens with aromatic and dry herbs, creating an intriguing evolution of flavors. The finish is long and memorable, marked by a compelling mix of pepper, green apple, lime zest, and oak. A subtle bitterness and astringency linger, providing a nuanced conclusion to this remarkable dram. While the oak can be overpowering for some, the overall excellence and depth of this whisky remain undiminished. Whether enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to unlock its intricate layers, the Caperdonich 1972 DT Rare Auld #7414 promises a lasting impression.
This whisky stands out due to its rare vintage, limited production of only 147 bottles, and its exceptional flavor profile, which includes exotic fruits, honey, and complex herbal notes. The 37-year aging process also adds to its unique characteristics.
