Caperdonich 50 Year Old 1972 Murray McDavid ULTRA

Caperdonich 50 Year Old 1972 is an extraordinary and vanishingly rare Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, bottled by Murray McDavid for the prestigious ULTRA series. Distilled on 7th November 1972 and bottled on 18th July 2023, this remarkable whisky spent over half a century maturing in single cask #7441, yielding just 100 bottles. As one of the oldest surviving examples from the long-closed Caperdonich Distillery, it represents a truly historic piece of Scotch whisky heritage. Five decades of patient maturation have transformed the spirit into a masterpiece of complexity and elegance. The whisky displays a stunning tropical fruit profile often associated with legendary long-aged Speyside malts, layered with honeyed cereals, vanilla, waxy richness, and beautifully integrated oak. Murray McDavid’s ULTRA series celebrates exceptional vintage whiskies shaped by time, and this release stands among the finest examples of mature Caperdonich ever bottled.
