CAPERDONICH PEATED 27YO SECRET SPEYSIDE II WHISKY SINGLE MALT SCOTLAND 0.7L + PACKAGING PEARL FROM ROTHES

Caperdonich Peated 27YO Secret Speyside II single malt whisky, an aged and one of the few peated whiskies from central Speyside.

Caperdonich Peated 27 Year Old Secret Speyside II is an extremely rare and valuable single malt whisky from the legendary, now-defunct Caperdonich distillery. Released as part of the prestigious Secret Speyside II collection from Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard), it offers a unique opportunity to explore the style of a distillery that permanently closed its doors in 2002.

This peated variant was aged for a full 27 years in American oak barrels, which imparted depth, elegance, and a pronounced smoky character. The Caperdonich distillery was located in Rothes – the heart of the Speyside region – and was for years one of the best-kept secrets of the Scotch whisky world.

Its peated expressions were rare, making this edition absolutely unique. The long maturation and careful cask selection produced a remarkably complex, harmonious spirit with an intense peaty profile complemented by sweetness and oak depth.

Caperdonich Peated 27YO Secret Speyside II is not just a return to history but also a tribute to masterful craftsmanship and style that faded into oblivion with the distillery’s closure. A must-have edition for connoisseurs and collectors of rare single malts.

Caperdonich – a disappearing legend from the Rothes area of Scotland

The Caperdonich distillery was founded in 1898 as a sister facility to Glen Grant. For years, it primarily produced spirit for blends, and its existence remained a secret from the outside world. Modernized in the second half of the 20th century, it gained fame for producing high-quality whisky – both unpeated and, rarely, peated versions.

After its final closure and demolition in 2011, Caperdonich whiskies became rare treasures – sought after by collectors, enthusiasts, and historians of Scotch whisky. The peated 27YO version from the Secret Speyside II series is the final chapter of this story – intense, deep, and one-of-a-kind.
