Caperdonich 29 Year Old 1988 Carn Mor Celebration is a rare and highly collectible Speyside single malt Scotch whisky from the closed Caperdonich Distillery, bottled by Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers for their Carn Mor Celebration of the Cask series. Distilled in 1988 and matured for 29 years in a single hogshead (#6051), this exceptional expression was bottled in March 2018, with just 203 individually numbered bottles released.

Caperdonich—often referred to as the “Secret Speyside”—has become increasingly sought after since its closure, with remaining stocks now exceptionally scarce. Maturation in a hogshead allows the distillery’s natural fruit-forward character to shine, enhanced by gentle oak influence and decades of slow, careful ageing.

The Distillery

Caperdonich
Caperdonich Distillery, established in 1897 beside the North of Scotland Railway in the northwestern corner of Rothes, fired up its two stills just a year later. Unfortunately, it opened during a downturn in whisky demand and closed in 1902, remaining mothballed until 1965 before permanently shutting down in 2002. Demolished in 2011, Caperdonich remains a lost Scottish Speyside malt whisky distillery, with most of its production historically destined for blended Scotch. However, a small volume of Caperdonich whisky still appears through independent bottlers, notably in the Old & Rare single cask releases by Hunter Laing, preserving this distillery’s memory for whisky enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
