The aroma is strong and lavish, with a pronounced estery character. The fruitiness is extremely diverse. When tasted, it has a smooth mouthfeel but expands into a richly aromatic flavor due to its high alcohol content. As with the aroma, a matured array of fruity notes was clearly felt. The body is not particularly heavy, but the intoxicating fruitiness left a very favorable impression. Blind tasting would likely suggest it's from a German bottler like Agencies, given its fruity characteristics. There were periods when such Caperdonich releases frequently came from German bottlers or Duncan Taylor, but they've become rare in recent years.
