Tasting notes Serge Valentin: 92 points (WhiskyFun.com)

Colour: full gold.

Nose: it’s a less expressive version, with less sherry and a little more oak. Now, maybe it’s also a little more subtle, a little more cerebral so to speak. Superb whiffs of dandelions, honeys, plums, apricots… No, this is just as stunning. With water: the oak comes out a little more but let’s be serious, this is brilliant.

Mouth (neat): amazing, it’s an explosion of fruits and spices. A wee tad less oaky than cask #1145. A lot of crème de menthe, though (mint liqueur). With water: pure magic. Please call the anti-maltoporn brigade!

Finish: sadly, yes. Some sweet oak in the aftertaste and just a little white pepper.

Comments: I think every serious whisky lover should stock up these irresisitible 1972 Caperdonichs before they become too expensive or… too oaky (that may happen soon in my opinion). Or before they’re gone for good. One day I’ll try to do a nice large session, opposing old Caperdonichs, Strathislas and Longmorns. Should be interesting.
