Caperdonich 1992 The Octave 27 Year Old 56%
Distilled in 1992 at the Caperdonich distillery and rested for 27 years in oak casks and bottled in 2019. 1 of only 90 bottles. Cask number #4125633 For upwards of 40 years the team at Duncan Taylor have experimented by maturing whiskies in smaller casks with great success. Their research stemmed from the simple premise that there is more wood interaction with the whisky over a shorter period of time in a small cask than in a large cask, therefore allowing a more rapid melding of wood, air and alcohol. After a second maturation the octave casks have refined the whisky, enhancing its hue, taste, form and character. The flavour profile is gently expanded, a little more sophisticated with the commanding presence of a mature, well balanced Scotch Whisky.
Laphroaig 27 Year Old SMOS Director's Special
This special bottling has been produced from a single first fill ex bourbon cask that has aged for 27 years. Aromas of chargrilled mango skins and toasted banana with waves of dusty coal smoke explode out of the glass. An initial tropical sweetness plays on the tongue with flavours of passion fruit and baked mango which compliments the dusty, dark smoke with cola and ginger. The peat evolves into a rich tobacco and cherry jam.
