The Caperdonich 22 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is a rare and exclusive release from the now-closed Speyside distillery, which was famous for supplying malt for blended whiskies. This particular expression, bottled for Kirsch Import as part of the Wu Dram Clan's 3rd Anniversary Collection, was distilled in 2000 and matured for 22 years in a classic Hogshead cask. It is a cask strength whisky, bottled at 55.2% ABV, and is characterized by its rich and powerful aroma, with notes of dried fruit, straw, oak, and a hint of garlic. The palate is sweet and fruity, with flavors of peach, apricot, and a touch of minerality, leading to a long and intense finish.
This whisky is a limited release, with only 246 bottles available, making it a true collector's item and a testament to the distillery's legacy. It is a must-try for whisky enthusiasts and collectors, and is an excellent example of the high-quality single malts from this closed distillery. The whisky has an oily texture, with notes of mashed bananas, orange syrup, sweet pear, honey, and a hint of coconut. It is also quite modern and wood-oriented, with flavors of vanilla, white pepper, candied ginger, and more coconut. Overall, it is a well-rounded and complex whisky, with a nice balance of sweet and fruity flavors and a firm bourbon-like side.
