Description

A Speyside distillery originally built as an expansion for Glen Grant and known for many years simply as Glen Grant No.2. Despite obtaining its own identity in 1965, it was mostly operated for the provision of malt to blended Scotch brands and was eventually closed by Pernod Ricard in 2002. A private members club established by Pip Hills in 1983. It has flagship members bars in Edinburgh, Glasgow. Caperdonich is a closed distillery, demolished in 2011, making remaining supply finite.

Historical context
Caperdonich distillery was closed in 2002 and demolished in 2011.
Special release
Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) release for members.
Allocation
SMWS members
Nose
Fresh peaches and peach candy hit the nose first, then strawberry Bubble Yum, roses, and mango juice. It gradually shifts to dried apricots and gooey toffee across the expanse of an hour.
Palate
The palate strikes boldly, very tartly, with a moderate sweetness. Ginger beer, roses, and an almost smoky woodiness plays peek-a-boo.
Finish
It finishes tart and gingery, fizzy, not too sweet. A hint of the nose's peaches makes a cameo.
