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

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.
