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.
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.
