Cadenhead’s Caperdonich 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch – Ahhhh, the Caperdonich – pretty much the only thing reverberating in my head when I think of this scotch! This cask strength 16yo whisky is sublime. On the nose you’ll smell crisp red apples, dates and raisin notes, with Demerara and honey – you’ll also be able to smell hints of peaches. On the palate, it is very sweet – those raisin, dates and peachy flavours will be confirmed with a beautiful coconut milky texture – you’ll also get a slight oaky flavour developing, with hints of marzipan. The finish is quite smooth and warming, it almost tastes like Baileys….?
In summary – I was blown away by the flavours of this whisky and as always it will be best appreciated on its own or with a very small amount of water to allow the flavours to breathe. Definitely my favourite 16yo Cadenhead’s Scotches and you could easily enjoy this flavourful whisky with a nice mild Cigar – i.e. a Davidoff 2000 or 3000.
Cadenhead’s Caperdonich 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky can only be purchased from the Cadenhead’s whisky shop on Chiltern Street or on their online website for approx £59
