Comments: 

Batch CP/002. Not that many OBs left of Caperdonich, I’m thinking. But maybe the stocks are plentiful. Anyway, this is quite peaty and fruity, very gentle peat fades quickly to rich fruit. Lots of vegetal undertones too, particularly watermelon rind. Quite enjoyable. Looking forward to the 18yo. 

Verdict:

I like this a lot.
