Caperdonich Abbey Whisky Single cask 17 yo

Nose: Starting very fruity and beguiling with notes of exotic fruit salad : pineapple, papaya , Lychee in sweet sugary nectar , Vanilla pods. A touch of Granny Smith apple peel, Muscovado sugar, wood spice and leather.

Palate: Quite spicy on the entry , think : Chilly. Sweet but fierce. Dying to reveal vanilla and caramel biscuit (You know those Eden biscuits with lots of caramel) , and a nice malty backbone.

Finish : Drying. Bitter sweet with wood and truffles sprinkled with cocoa powder.

A very nice dram, very appropriate for this festive wintery season. Very limited (96 bottled), and well priced if you ask me (under 60 quid for single cask , at cast strength?) it’s a real steal, and a nice touch to try the wonders of Caperdonich.
