The Caperdonich Distillery, built directly opposite what is now the renowned Glen Grant Distillery, was never able to fully emerge from its shadow and consequently earned the unflattering nickname ‘Glen Grant No. 2’. Despite its potential, the distillery never achieved the same level of fame as its neighbour and was eventually closed down and demolished in 2011.

Although production has ceased, Caperdonich whiskies live on. A number of independent bottlers still hold stocks of casks from this now defunct distillery and occasionally release limited editions. The Caperdonich whisky, which lives on in these stories, was matured for 18 years in American oak casks, giving it a particular depth and complexity.

These rare bottlings offer whisky enthusiasts a unique opportunity to experience a piece of the distilling artistry of the past.
