Caperdonich 11 Year Old 1996 Signatory

This week, I am putting three relatively young Caperdonich next to each other. Let me start with this very pale 11 Year Old from Signatory.

The nose starts on the obligatory honey and beeswax with hints of dried grass, roasted nuts and errr… baked patatoes. Butter, too. A little weird, but not unpleasant. Some white fruit shines through, mostly pear and melon.

The attack is rather weak, but nice and sweet. Pear and melon are now joined by some almond paste. Again quite some honey. But not much else. Some pineapple, maybe? Soft spices, that slowly but surely become louder. White pepper and ginger mostly. Clearly a bourbon cask.

The finish is medium long, spicy and sweet.

Not bad, but a bit too light to really leave an impression.
