Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짙은 황금빛이 잔 속에 깊게 비친다. 폐쇄된 캐퍼도닉의 1972년 빈티지가 35년을 거쳐 던컨 테일러의 레어 올드로 봉인되었고, 향에서는 잘 익은 살구와 묵은 꿀, 들꽃의 결이 또렷이 풀려난다. 입에서는 50.3%의 도수가 보리당과 무화과 시럽, 헤이즐넛의 단맛을 부드럽게 끌어올리고 1970년대 스페이사이드 특유의 우아한 골격이 단단히 받쳐 준다. 시간의 무게가 또렷이 비친다. 여운은 들꽃과 토피로 길게 이어진다.

air Nose
at first nosing, it seems that it’s one of these pretty exuberant and very fruity Caperdonichs that we like so much (apricot pie galore), with what we call ‘a whole beehive minus the stings’ first in the background, and then quickly coming to the front. That is to say honey of course, but also pollen, old wood, putty, pine resin, wax… Also notes of very ripe butter pears, faint whiffs of wood smoke, hints of bergamots… And then these notes of ‘old Sauternes’ that are so entrancing in whisky (when they don’t come from actual Sauternes casks). Well, even then that can be excellent as we could find out, for instance in Celtique Connexion’s double maturing… Right, I digress. Anyway, this Caperdonich is more than perfect on the nose, we love this kind of profile, especially when there isn’t the tiniest flaw. Superb
restaurant Palate
punchier than expected, maybe even a tad wild at the attack but it’s equally smooth… Let’s say ‘wildly rounded’ (which doesn’t make any sense, does it?) Bananas, oak (firm and solid but not plankish), orange marmalade, yellow plum jam, many spices… And then a slight grassiness that keeps it alive and nervous. Excellent again
timer Finish
long, with an unexpected peppery blast that really transforms it
