Bottle
Another orthodox malt. Caperdonich CAPERDONICH 1992-2015 BBR for La Maison du Whisky #121111 51.9% The aroma has strong barley notes, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, apple, faint coconut, and plain cask characteristics. On the palate, it offers a pleasant barley umami, faint apple, a textured mouthfeel with honey-like sweetness, cinnamon, and a long, balanced oak finish. 【Good/Very Good】 This is a recent bottling by BBR for La Maison du Whisky, aged approximately 23 years. While Caperdonich has recently gained popularity for its fruity expressions, it traditionally had a light-bodied profile. This release is neither overly fruity nor delicate; instead, it showcases a bourbon-style cask influence with a clear barley character. The apple-like fruitiness and honey-like sweetness are impressive, along with a concentrated depth that provides a satisfying chewiness. Though not an immediately distinctive malt, it feels like a classic, everyday drinkable whisky that won't bore the palate.
