- Description
- Caperdonich distilled this Speyside malt in 1968, just as the distillery expanded to four stills, capturing a moment of operational transition now amplified by the fact that the site has been mothballed since 2002. Bottled at 40% ABV by Gordon & MacPhail in 1995, this represents a rare window into the distillery's character during its productive years. Closed distilleries command collector attention, and this Connoisseurs Choice expression offers a historical snapshot of Speyside craftsmanship from a bygone era.
