Product Overview:
The Caperdonich Peated 18 Year Old is a rare, collectible release from a legendary "ghost" distillery that was demolished in 2011. This expression offers a unique opportunity to taste a heavily peated single malt from the Speyside region, which is traditionally known for unpeated, sweeter profiles. Bottled at 48% ABV without chill-filtration, it delivers a powerful yet sophisticated smoky character.

Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Intense campfire smoke, cold bonfire ash, and damp earth, balanced beautifully by sweet pear, crisp green apple, and subtle vanilla.
- Palate: Rich and oily. Robust peat smoke and phenolic punch blend seamlessly with candied orange peel, sweet honey, gentle oak spices, and a hint of licorice.
- Finish: Long, warm, and lingering. A smoky finale accompanied by drying oak, salt-tinged malt, and fading orchard fruits.
Summary & Verdict:
A highly sought-after dram for both collectors and peat lovers. Despite its 18 years in the cask, it retains a wonderfully aggressive, "old-school" peat profile that never overpowers the fruit-forward Speyside distillery character. It has earned multiple awards, including Gold medals at the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC).
