Caperdonich was built in 1898 directly across the road from Glen Grant as its sister distillery — Glen Grant No.2 — producing the same light, fruity, creamy Speyside spirit from tall copper stills. It was rarely bottled as a single malt in its lifetime. The distillery is now demolished. Its four stills were dispersed — a pair travelling as far as Belgium, others to Falkirk. Every bottle that exists draws on a finite, dwindling stock, and when that stock is gone, Caperdonich is gone forever. This expression, distilled in 1992 and bottled in 2015 by Scotland's oldest independent bottler Cadenhead's, represents just 150 bottles — a ghost of Speyside's past, bold at 56.4%, and utterly beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caperdonich (closed and demolished — formerly Glen Grant No.2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottler:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cadenhead's (Scotland's oldest independent bottler)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 Years Old\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distilled 1992 | Bottled 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-Bourbon American Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56.4% (Natural Cask Strength)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBottles Produced:\u003c\/strong\u003e Only 150\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cadenhead's Closed Distilleries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey, ripe pear, vanilla, and coconut — fresh, fragrant, and inviting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropical fruit, wax, and creamy oat lead into soft pear, cream, and waxy oil.

Constructed to meet rising demand, it used the same tall copper still design that gives Glen Grant its distinctive light, fruity character. Despite periods of production and silence across its history, Caperdonich was eventually closed in 2002 and subsequently demolished, with its stills sold off across Europe. It was rarely officially bottled as a single malt during its lifetime, meaning independent bottlers like Cadenhead's — Scotland's oldest, established 1842 — are responsible for almost everything that survives. This bottle is a piece of irreplaceable Speyside history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCollectors of closed and demolished distillery expressions — among the rarest in Scotch whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThose fascinated by the history and ghost distilleries of Speyside\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFans of Cadenhead's independent bottlings and their commitment to authentic cask strength releases\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAn extraordinary and deeply meaningful gift for a serious whisky historian or collector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Authenticity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold by Whiskys.co.uk is 100% authentic and sourced through verified, trusted channels.
