Blackadder Caperdonich 1996 – Statement Edition No. 58 – 55.2%

This Blackadder Caperdonich 1996 is part of the Statement series (Edition No. 58) , Blackadder's most selective line in which only exceptional casks are released. The whisky was distilled in 1996 , bottled after 26 years of maturation , and comes from the now permanently closed Caperdonich distillery , making this bottling extra historic and collectible.

Bottled at full cask strength (55.2%) , without chill filtration and no added color, this whisky reveals the cask in its purest form. The style is classic mature Speyside: rich maltiness, refined wood use, gentle spiciness, and a long, dry, and balanced finish that only older whiskies from closed distilleries can offer.

Limited to just 170 bottles , this release is exceptionally scarce. Despite the limited number of reviews, this bottling achieved an excellent score of 91/100 , placing it among the very best recent Blackadder releases.

This is not an entry-level bottle , but a Statement bottling for the discerning collector or investor , with a focus on closed distilleries, low volumes and timeless quality.
