Caperdonich distillery was a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Rothes, Scotland.

Caperdonich operated between 1898 and 1902, and then again between 1965 and 2002. Caperdonich whisky was a component of some blends of Chivas Regal.

Caperdonich, originally known as "Glen Grant #2", was built in 1898 by the founders of the Glen Grant distillery, J. & J. Grant. Glen Grant #2 closed after four years, and was dormant until 1965, when it was rebuilt by Glenlivet Distilleries Ltd.^[1] By that time, British law prohibited simultaneously operating distilleries from using the same name, and Glen Grant #2 was reopened as "Caperdonich". In 1967, two steam-heated pot stills were added. Technological advances allowed the distillery to be run by only two people.^[2]

The distillery was sold to Seagram in 1977, and sold again to Pernod Ricard in 2001. One year after purchasing Caperdonich,^[3]

Pernod Ricard closed the distillery. In autumn 2010 the distillery was demolished.^[3] The copper stills and mash turn were sold and repurposed for use at the Falkirk distillery.^[4]
