Caperdonich (silent) Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 13 Year Old · 1999 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber with a warm copper-gold glow and tawny, mahogany-tinged edges.

Nose

Sherried and richly fruity on the nose: dark orchard fruits, raisins and fig, with orange zest, almond marzipan and a honeyed sweetness. Layers of toffee and cocoa mingle with spice—cinnamon, clove, nutmeg—while vanilla and polished oak provide warmth and a whisper of leather.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied on the palate, initially honeyed with orchard fruit and apricot sweetness that deepens into rich dried-fruit shading. Spices unfold—cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg—over toffee and dark chocolate. A velvety, waxy texture carries notes of orange zest and roasted almond, with a lasting sherry-nuanced finish that lingers with gentle oak and a warm, refined sweetness.

Finish

Opulent and long, the finish unfurls with generous sherry sweetness, dark plum and fig, and a kiss of cocoa. Cinnamon and clove spark warmth as toasted oak lends depth. A refined, drying embrace lingers, leaving a silky, memorable echo of this Speyside treasure.
