Jean-Marie Putz

This whisky with a relatively discrete smell is amazing as it is rather different from other classical Speyside's. Despite the number of years spent in as cask, the taste is not too complex, but its slightly acid character recalling citrus fruits is very pleasant. I generally consider this acidity as a characteristic of a young alcohol, but in the case of this Caperdonich it adds some very pleasant characteristics . A long finish prolongs the pleasure of drinking this very pleasant whisky.

The nose is clearly marked by a surprising freshness with some hints of citrus fruit on a malted background.
The palate does not confirm the first impression, and the freshness is replaced by a slight woody taste and some bitter and chocolate touches. The complexity in the mouth increases with a drop of water which reveals the clearly spicy character of this whisky.
The finish is remarkable for its length and its clear malted and chocolate hints.

The nose is deliciously fruity, rather fresh with discrete hints of hazelnut. Ripe pear and vanilla, a great sweetness without this sickly character which sometimes characterizes very sweet malts.
The first mouth expresses a slightly dominating bitterness. An impression of orange zest soon followed by hints of sweet citrus fruit (tangerine) and then cashew nut notes. A very nice and pleasant mouth even if has a lack at complexity. A nice freshness here as well.
The finish is rather long and the same smooth mix of orange zest, citrus acidity and nice nutty hints. A very nice bottle.
