Located in the town of Rothes, in the Speyside region, the Scottish Caperdonich distillery has remained secret throughout its existence, creating peaty or not expressions in Small Batch and some of which were used to compose Blends of Chivas Regal.


Founded in 1898 by the founders of Glen Grant, the distillery that lined the banks of Spey no longer exists. With a first closure 5 years after its launch, it reopened in 1965 with 2 new stills and a greater production capacity, which allowed it to make its place on the market. It closed definitively in 2002, before being dismantled brick by brick in 2011.


Today, we can find what remains of this legendary distillery through the Peated and Unpeated Caperdonich ranges of the Secret Speyside collection, which highlights the rarest expressions of the region.

Nose: the abundant peat smoke reveals lovely notes of sweet ginger and tangy orange.

Palate: peaty, it then gives way to fruity notes of apple with a touch of Demerara sugar (unrefined brown cane sugar).

Finish: long, the smoke dissipates slowly and gives way to sweetness.
