Caperdonich (silent) Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection Single Cask #1105 Whisky 43 Year Old · 1979 Vintage
In stock
Distilled in 1979 and bottled in 2023 at 53.1% ABV, this 43-year-old was drawn from a sherry cask (#1105) for Gordon & MacPhail’s Private Collection and yielded 246 bottles.
Caperdonich distillery closed in 2002, making mature single malts like this especially rare. Decades of sherry wood influence add deep dried fruit, spice and oak complexity to Caperdonich’s naturally gentle Speyside character, with layers of raisin, orange peel and warm toffee supported by rich malt sweetness and subtle oak warmth in a refined, expressive long-aged release.

Long, refined finish with spice and lingering citrus zest; dried fruit and oak warmth persist, while a gentle malt sweetness lingers into the finale.
