Single Malt
Classic Campbeltown single malt matured in first-fill bourbon barrels before a finishing period spent in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. A wonderful introduction to the delights of this great distillery, and frankly just a great whisky with a pleasing toffee core and rich depth.
Vibrant fruit emerges first (peach flesh and green apple peels), followed by chewy vanilla fudge, a hint of salinity, then an array of oak-y spices including some char.
Opens with more fudge with a little dusting of powdered sugar. Powerful, oily and a touch herbaceous with some German brandy character.
Sherried notes come through more on the finish.
£4.94 - £47.90
Smooth fine single malt whisky don't need ice or water just self control not finish bottle off as once you open and try you won't want to put down
Nose: one of a kind peat, cream, butter, fudge, touch of sherry, fruity. Taste: Smooth, creamy, butterscotch, fruit touch of sherry, very sweet. Long finish, mellow, sweet with peat. If you're creating a whisky shelf of varied flavors, then you need this one. It has personality, it's not like most malts.
Concur with the notes by the MoM a love, but there is gentle smoke in the background suggesting a highly charred American white oak cask, otherwise the notes are pretty much what I detected. One of the best malts I have tasted and not just for the money.
Coatline and legs - slow run, oily, syrupy. Nose - dried fruit, temperate fruits,spices, clove, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, smokey. These flavours take a long time to evolve. Vanilla and caramel, some coconut in the background. Lightly peated. Palate - very similar to he nose, medium to full bodied on the tongue. Finish - seems short not long lasting . Sweet, fruit, slightly smokey. Balance - very balanced and a very good price.
This review is for a great whisky at a great price point for the quality. An amazing discovery which really captures the nature of the region. The nose jumps out of the glass with a great combination of fruit and candy. The salt is there on the palate, but not overpowering with a hint of the oak peeking through. As you drink it the nose opens up a bit more with the candy drawing through to toffee, and the sweetness slowly develops in the mouth to replace the brinyness. This is a great after dinner whisky, or a dram for the late evening.
