Caperdonich 50 Years Old ULTRA

About

This exceptional 50-year-old Caperdonich, distilled in 1972, represents a masterpiece from Murray McDavid's prestigious ULTRA collection—a showcase of the bottler's finest and most treasured whiskies. Matured in an American oak hogshead and carefully nurtured over five decades in Victorian warehouses, this heritage single malt has evolved into a charming and characterful dram from a bygone era. The mellow nature of American oak has been the perfect vessel to elegantly enhance the classic flavours of this remarkable Speyside spirit. The nose reveals a beautiful bouquet of fresh peaches and apricot cream, complemented by sweet barley sugars and vanilla pods, followed by tropical notes of pineapple cubes and hints of sweet ginger and pine. On the palate, the whisky blossoms with intensely tropical and vibrant aromas, unveiling sumptuous honeyed cereal and buttery pastry notes. The finish is deliciously fruity with a satisfyingly long, waxy character that lingers elegantly.
