Caperdonich 1972 38 Year Old (Whisky Agency)

I love Caperdonich and 1972 was known to be a top vintage. One of my favourite distilleries and one of my favourite independent bottlers. Prepare for some fireworks.

Caperdonich 18 Year Old 1995 Douglas Laing Old Particular

The new single cask range from Douglas Laing got the name Old Particular. I love the packaging with the retro touch. The whisky is probably great too, as it is the successor to the Old Malt Cask.
