Caperdonich 14-year-old (D.1968) Connoisseurs Choice /40% / 0.75l

Connoisseurs Choice is one of the oldest whisky series in the Gordon & MacPhail portfolio.

It debuted in the mid-1960s, when most Scottish malt distilleries were producing for blenders, not even considering promoting their whiskies as single malts. Today, over half a century later, Connoisseurs Choice is still a successful competitor in the single malt market and has its devoted fans. The Caperdonich presented here, distilled in 1968, just three years after production resumed after a 60-year break, was aged for 14 years in oak barrels, mostly American oak. In 2002, the distillery distilled for the last time.

Aroma : floral-herbal, lavender, geranium, heather, a handful of fresh herbs, apples, peaches, a little honey and light mineral notes.

Palate: vanilla, honey, milkshake, roasted almonds, burnt sugar, herbal mixture, traces of coconut flakes and oak.

Finish : medium long, with notes of herbal spices, caramel, cinnamon, a touch of white pepper and oak.
