Caperdonich 1997 The Duchess Game & Wildlife Series Hogshead is a rare whisky from the now-demolished Caperdonich distillery, originally established as an adjunct to the Glen Grant distillery in 1998. Closed in 2001 and demolished in 2010, this whisky has become a highly sought-after collectible. This particular expression, bottled at a cask strength of 56.2%, exemplifies exceptional balance and complexity. The nose offers a delightful mix of plums, cherries, honeycomb, a flowery bouquet, ripe pears, bourbon flavors, tea, and oranges. With some air, it develops into cotton candy and bubblegum. On the palate, the taste is equally impressive, featuring honey, white fruits (pears), apricots, and oranges that evolve into a yogurt/zesty touch. The whisky has a milky creaminess on the tongue, making it a truly enjoyable dram. Reminiscent of the eighties style bourbon-matured whiskies, this expression has a rich and full-bodied flavor profile. It is a perfect example of how an aged Caperdonich can showcase the distillery's unique character and style at its best.

This Caperdonich is one of the best modern examples I've had the pleasure of tasting. The nose, although initially dense, reveals a gentle floral and sweet fruitiness over time. On the palate, it is fairly waxy with vibrant fruit flavors that outshine the nose, and the finish is long, lingering with a beautiful mix of spices and juicy fruits. It's a truly remarkable dram that captures the essence of the now-demolished Caperdonich distillery.
