Caperdonich 30 Year Old 1982 Director’s Cut is a rare and highly collectible Speyside single malt Scotch whisky from the closed Caperdonich Distillery, bottled by Douglas Laing & Co. for their Director’s Cut series. Distilled in 1982 and matured for 30 years in a single refill sherry butt (#8778), this exceptional expression was bottled in July 2012 at 50.9% ABV, showcasing the depth and character of this lost distillery.

Caperdonich, once known as the “Secret Speyside,” has become increasingly sought after since its closure, with remaining stocks now exceptionally scarce. Refill sherry maturation allows the spirit’s natural fruitiness to shine while adding layers of dried fruit, spice, and refined oak developed over three decades of ageing.
