Caperdonich (silent) Cadenhead's Authentic Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old · 1996 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery undertones and a warm mahogany edge.

Nose

Dark, sherry-kissed aromas unfold in layers: dried berries, plum and raisin, fresh fig and candied orange peel. Rich cocoa and espresso mingle with toasted oak, cinnamon and nutmeg, while sherry sweetness lingers with hints of tobacco and leather. A pristine, syrupy malt anchors the bouquet.

Palate

Silky and opulent, the palate delivers velvety sherry sweetness with dried plums, fig and orange zest. Cocoa and espresso provide depth as toasted almond notes emerge. Spices—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—appear, giving way to a peppery, oak‑driven finish that lingers with warm intensity from the 51.7% ABV.

Finish

Long, indulgent finish that coats the palate with dark plum and fig, unfolding into cocoa and roasted nut. Spices—cinnamon and clove—rise softly as oak sweetness dries the mouth, leaving velvet tannins and a whisper of smoke to linger, with a final touch of warm sherry-cask richness.
