Producing WhiskyCast has given me the opportunity to taste some really amazing whiskies, and I’m pleased to share my tasting notes with you here. You can search my entire database of tasting notes from this page, and I hope you’ll find it useful.
Caperdonich Distillery in Rothes was demolished a decade ago. Its whiskies can still be found from time to time, such as this single cask bottling from Decadent Drinks and the Whisky Sponge, Angus MacRaild. It’s a 25-year-old refill Sherry hogshead bottled in 2020, and the nose has touches of Christmas cake, fresh berries, a gentle oakiness, dried apples, and hints of dried flowers and hazelnut. The taste has a good balance of fruitiness and peppery notes with touches of fresh berries, red apples, dried flowers, and a hint of hazelnut. The finish is long, well-balanced, and gentle. Excellent! (May, 2021)
