The Caperdonich 1972 DT Rarest of the Rare Oak Cask #7440 is a highly sought-after whisky bottled by Duncan Taylor. Boasting an alcohol content of 53.6% and a volume of 700ml, this exceptional spirit was distilled in 1972 and bottled in 2011, making it a rare 38-year-old gem. Limited to just 181 bottles, this Speyside whisky is a must-have for serious whisky enthusiasts, as its scarcity and value are likely to increase over time. This whisky is characterized by its subtle and cerebral nature, presenting superb notes of dandelions, honey, plums, and apricots. Compared to other Caperdonich expressions, it is less sherried and features a hint more oak, which becomes more prominent with the addition of water. When sipped neat, the whisky delivers an amazing explosion of fruits and spices, leaning slightly less oaky than cask #1145. A distinctive touch of crème de menthe adds to its unique flavor profile, and with a splash of water, it transforms into pure magic. The nose brings forward tropical fruits such as pineapple, peach, and plums, accompanied by beeswax, buttery notes, and vanilla. The palate is equally impressive, with a waxy, oily mouthfeel and sweet fruitiness of apricots and mango, complemented by juicy oakiness and sappy liquorice. The finish is long and sweet, with a touch of spice (pepper and paprika) and a complex gingery note. Overall, the Caperdonich 1972 DT Rarest of the Rare Oak Cask #7440 is a testament to the quality and craftsmanship of whisky production by Duncan Taylor. It is a rare and exceptional whisky sure to impress even the most discerning of whisky enthusiasts.
This whisky is special due to its age, being a 38-year-old spirit distilled in 1972, and its limited release of only 181 bottles. Its complex flavor profile and the craftsmanship behind its production make it highly sought-after.
Adding water to the Caperdonich 1972 enhances the oak notes and transforms the whisky into a more magical experience, with the flavors becoming more pronounced and complex.
The Caperdonich 1972 offers a rich array of flavors including tropical fruits, honey, beeswax, vanilla, apricots, mango, juicy oak, and a touch of crème de menthe.
