Caperdonich 1977 CA Small Batch Ex-Sherry Butt is a rare and highly sought-after whisky from the Caperdonich distillery, which boasts a rich and storied history. Established in 1897, the distillery was initially only active for five years before it reopened in 1965. Unfortunately, Caperdonich closed its doors permanently in 2002 and was demolished in 2010, making this whisky a valuable piece of history. This particular expression from Cadenhead's is a small batch release, matured in an ex-sherry butt and bottled at an ABV of 50.2%. The whisky has been aged for 35 years, resulting in a complex and multi-layered profile. On the palate, it opens with soft spice notes that transition into juicy red fruits, including blackcurrants and cherries. The profile deepens with creamier notes and hints of smoked meats, adding both richness and complexity. The finish is long and chewy, with a pronounced sherry character that's almost salty. Black cherries make a reappearance, enhancing the overall experience. With only 384 bottles available, this whisky is a true delight for any connoisseur and a testament to the exceptional quality of whisky produced at Caperdonich.
This whisky is unique due to its rich history, limited production of only 384 bottles, and its maturation in an ex-sherry butt which imparts complex and rich flavors.
This whisky was bottled by Cadenhead's, a well-respected independent bottler known for high-quality releases.
