We don't often see whiskies from the closed Caperdonich distillery anymore. This one from our friends at the Boutique-y Whisky Company was bottled after 22 years at 48.6%.
Producer Description: "Our fifth batch from the long closed Caperdonich distillery is a 22 Year Old, a release of just 250 bottles at 48.6% abv. Caperdonich means ‘secret well’ or ‘Sunday well’ in Scot Gaelic, and is one of the springs that feed into the Glen Grant Burn. There’s an old legend that says it would never run dry, but it did once, in the long hot summer of 1976"
About the Label (Larger Label Under Tasting Note)
"The label features a reference to the pipe that once ran between Caperdonich and the Glen Grant distillery. It describes a night time scene of misdemeanour. A ‘donich caper if you will… The perpetrators are attempting to drill into the spirit pipe between Caperdonich and its sister distillery, Glen Grant to get at the liquor-rich goodness within."
500ml mlProducer Tasting Note
Nose: Apple turnovers, rose water, a touch of barrel char and ground ginger.

That Boutique-y Whisky Company (TBWC) is part of the Atom Group, which also owns the UK retailer Master of Malt and a number of other subsidiaries. They are a dynamic and innovative firm, who by example invented the Whisky Advent Calendar concept. Established in 2012, TBWC is famous for its playful and colourful labels, which often feature prominent whisky industry figures, tell a story, and or elude to an inside joke. The labels are typically laced with hidden elements and "Easter Eggs."
TBWC bottles whiskies from around the world, though the bulk of their offerings are of Scottish origin. Most of their offerings are small-batch releases, Blended Malts, and Blends. Their "Head of Whisky" is Canadian Sam Simmons.
We are big fans of not only their whimsical labels but also the consistently high standard of liquid they bottle.
