Cadenhead Small Batch Caperdonich 1977
$328.49
This heavily sherried 35 year old from the closed Caperdonich distillery is exclusive to KWM in Canada, with just 24 bottles having come to the market! Andrew�s Tasting Note: �Nose: dried Christmas cake, a spice shop at Christmas and a leather cigar pouch; some juicier candied fruit slowly emerges with a touch of chocolate and black licorice; Palate: big, fruity and rich, with powerful but balanced sherry notes; no tinge of bitter oak or sulphur in this sherry bomb; there are some more delicate tropical fruit notes like Mango, Papaya and Guava but the sherry is holding them in check; soft leather and tobacco also caress the palate along with brown and Demerara sugars as well as hints of dark spice: fennel and clove; Finish: long, rich and smooth with the leather and tobacco notes lingering long and the fruits, chocolate and spice fade around them; Comment: one of the finest Caperdonich�s I�ve ever tasted.

Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: new leather, salt water taffy, Glosset Raisins, short bread and caramel sauce; some brine and smoke underneath browning apples and pears.
Palate: rich fruits and spice mingle with a surprisingly strong oily, smoky, peat; dates and figs emerge with chocolate even though the ever present salty-smoke continues to linger; candied ginger, hot cinnamon hearts, and more leather.
Finish: the round peat oils cling well into the long balanced finish with more lingering chocolate, peat and spice.
