Revisit a lost Speyside gem with Caperdonich 39 Year Old – 1972 Vintage, Connoisseurs Choice (bottled 2011). Distilled when the distillery was still known locally as “Glen Grant No. 2,” this single malt slumbered for nearly four decades in a single first‑fill sherry butt before being released by Gordon & MacPhail as part of their revered Connoisseurs Choice series. Closed since 2002 and long since dismantled, Caperdonich lives on only in rare casks like this—showcasing a sublime union of orchard‑fruit elegance, opulent sherry richness and polished antique oak.

Why We Think You’ll Love It

  • Closed distillery rarity: one of the final mature Caperdonich casks—an irreplaceable slice of Speyside history.

  • 39 years in a 1st‑fill sherry butt create unrivalled depth: dark fruit, chocolate, spice and polished oak.

  • Bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for the Connoisseurs Choice series, famed for curating exceptional single malts.

  • Natural colour and non‑chill‑filtered, preserving the whisky’s velvet texture and fully developed complexity.

  • A crown‑jewel collectible for enthusiasts of silent stills and luxurious long‑aged sherried malts.

Savour this majestic Caperdonich and journey back to a bygone Speyside era—where orchard sweetness, sumptuous sherry and four decades of quiet maturation converge in a dram of timeless sophistication.
