Caisteal Chamuis 12 Year Old 70cl Whisky
Caisteal Chamuis 12 Year Old
This expression from Mossburn's Caisteal Chamuis range is a marvellous blended malt Scotch whisky made with Island malts that have been matured for 12 years in refill American oak hogsheads, and then given a finishing period in Oloroso sherry casks. The peaty notes of the Island whiskies blends deliciously with the sweet dried fruit notes from the sherry casks, making for a satisfying expression. The name Caisteal Chamuis comes from a castle that you'll find up on the Isle of Skye, which is a neat connection.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Roast chestnuts, chocolate digestives, dried cherry, savoury smoke.
Palate
Still has a coastal edge to it, though mellowed by vanilla and plump sultana notes.
Finish
Lasting earthy, peaty notes on the finish.
