Whisky AGE Whisky Blues No.094 Caperdonich 28 Year Old

The Whisky Blues No.094 Caperdonich 28 Year Old is a rare independently bottled Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the now-closed Caperdonich Distillery. Distilled on January 20, 1997 and bottled on October 6, 2025, it spent 28 years maturing before being bottled from STR barrel #5835 at 42.7% ABV. Only 146 bottles were produced. Its mature, fruit-driven profile combines banana, green apple and citrus with honey, herbs, gentle minerality and restrained oak influence, while the STR cask brings additional freshness and energy to this long-aged spirit. 

Food Pairing: Pair with roast pork, baked Brie, aged Gouda, roasted nuts, apple tart, lemon pastries, tropical-fruit desserts, or lightly honeyed cheeses.

Tasting Notes: Mature and fruit-forward, showing tropical and orchard fruits alongside citrus, herbal honey, cooling minerality and delicate spice.

Nose: Banana, yellow lemon and crisp green apple open the aroma, followed by cooling mineral notes and a sweet apple-soda character.

Palate: Gentle lemon-peel oil and mandarin lead into mineral freshness, herbal honey, mixed herbal tea and fragrant botanical notes.

Finish: Fresh and moderately restrained, with walnut skin, pepper, botanical herbs and a touch of light herbal tannin.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a tulip-shaped whisky glass at room temperature. With its relatively gentle 42.7% ABV, taste it neat first before considering a few drops of water.
