Lonach Caperdonich 1969 39yo 42.2%


A new Lonach release from Duncan Taylor. I usually am a fan of Caperdonich so lets see how this goes.


Nose: Sweet vanilla, lemons and honey. Sour apple sweeties and a hint of rhubarb rock.


Taste: That sour apple sweet note comes sweeping through. A touch of drying oakiness and a bit of orange rind. Then more grassy and herbal notes.


Finish: Fairly short and quite drying with a touch of aniseed.


Comment: A very good dram but just not quite up there with the best of the Caperdonichs. Mind you I will still drink another of these!


Score: 88/100
