This single cask bottling of a 19-year-old Caperdonich single malt was produced by independent bottler Hannah Whisky Merchants as part of the Lady of the Glen series. The whisky was matured in an ex-bourbon cask and bottled in a limited edition of 120 individually numbered bottles.
Caperdonich is a former distillery in Rothes, Moray, Scotland, which was founded in 1897 by James Grant as Glen Grant No. 2 opposite Glen Grant. The distillery was closed from 1902 and was taken over by Glenlivet Distilleries in 1965 and given the name Caperdonich. It closed again in 2002 and was also demolished in 2010.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
