Caperdonich 1968 14 Year Old Connoisseurs ChoiceSpeyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 75cl 40% A rather tantalising 1968 Caperdonich 14 year old bottled by Gordon & MacPhail under their Connoisseur's Choice range. The 1968 Caperdonichs are spectacularly fruity and honeyed drams and this 14 year old already shows this house style off in spades. Great whisky from a sadly closed distillery.

Palate: Well balanced with tones of chocolate

this badass Springbank should very much float your boat

leafy sherry with big notes of ginger

which is matured in American oak and ex-oloroso sherry casks and has been bottled at a hearty 46

barley and lemony phenolic notes

fulsome fruit bomb

all the peat and fruit intermingle beautifully

Arran only began distilling in 1995 so this is not a particularly long-aged malt but it definitely holds up very impressively in terms of quality for a relatively youthful dram

Bottlings of Clynelish distilled in the early 70s are very hard to come by under the age of 30

Box showing ageing with wear & tear

eight French oak Barriques and five Bourbon barrels
