Caperdonich - Batch 1 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company) 50cl

this whisky is from the speyside distillery of caperdonich, a distillery with a turbulent history. caperdonich opened in 1897 under the imaginative name glen grant number two, after its sister distillery, and was allegedly linked by a pipe that ran whisky between the two. the distillery then closed in 1902 before reopening in 1965 under the more original name caperdonich – then in 2002, after thirty-five years of production, the distillery was mothballed and has not reopened since. thankfully there is still some whisky available for fantastic bottlings such as this one from ‘that boutique-y whisky company’.

this label features 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. cheeky monkeys.

this is a release of 36 bottles.

‘that boutique-y whisky company’ bottles single malts, single grains, bourbons, blended malts and blends from a variety of renowned distilleries. these whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic-novel-style labels.
