- Description
- Caperdonich's 1995 vintage spent 26 years maturing in American oak, developing a peated character that sits comfortably within Speyside's typically unpeated tradition. The spirit shows earthy, smoky notes tempered by the wood's vanilla and oak spice influence, creating a bridge between regions. Bottled at near-cask strength (49.1%), it delivers weight and complexity without dilution. A rare opportunity to experience a peated Speyside from an era when such expressions were less common.
