Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
스페이사이드 로데스 마을의 부드러운 강가 풍경과 비옥한 보리밭이 폐쇄된 캐퍼도니크 풍토의 토대다. 1972년 빈티지가 셰리우드 옥타브 캐스크에서 38년을 거쳐 46도로 2010년 던컨 테일러가 병입했다. 짙은 호박빛이 잔에 가득하다. 코에는 마른 무화과, 가죽, 흑설탕, 옅은 향나무가 또렷하다. 입안은 묵직하게 흐르며 자두 잼, 오렌지 껍질, 시나몬이 또렷하다. 여운에는 작은 옥타브 캐스크의 응축된 단맛이 길게 머문다.

totally 1972 and integrally Caperdonich. Nectar, pollen, beeswax, chamomile, orange blossom, lime-flower tea, honey, old Sauternes-that-got-dry, artisanal white chocolate (not Nestlé junk), wee bananas flambéed… Oh the elegance, oh the balance! I’m afraid this style has been lost, hopefully not forever

f****g amazing. There’s this very rare point where herbs and fruits meet and don’t fight, some kind of equilibrium that’s extremely rare, really. These very rare whiskies would make all current whiskies (bar a tiny few) resemble oak-aged vodka. More about oak-aged vodka soon on WF, if I’m man enough to do it (or if you mail me cheques, I take Euros, Swiss francs and US dollars, please no Sterling). So, a wonderful whisky, totally aged by time. Which was the whole point in the first place, but the industry seems to have changed their mind in that respect. Remember, today wood=time (but of course). Now back to this wee Caperdonich, I’m also finding chlorophyll and spearmint
timer Finish
it does the peacock’s tail. Fruits, flower jams, herbs. Mint liquorice in the stronger and firmer aftertaste
