Caperdonich 35-year-old (D.1972 B.2008) Rare Auld Duncan Taylor / 48.7% / 0.7l

These unique spirits come from distilleries scattered throughout Scotland and differ, sometimes significantly, from the official editions, showing the full spectrum of the producer's potential.

Caperdonich Distillery ceased operation in 2002, after a few years its buildings were demolished.
