One for the Campbeltown fans here, and a fab chance to dive into whiskies from the region if you're not all that familiar. This 2014 vintage came to us as a single cask of "teaspooned malt" from Campbeltown, was subjected to a little cask jiggery pokery over a period of three years and then bottled up by us in 2022, with a total release of 372 bottles.

Oily malt with waves of brine and sea breeze. Vanilla and a touch of ginger cake, dried mango, and prunes. A touch of damp leather, cherry chocolate, and toffee apple.
Dense, charred oak brings notes of candied biscuits and sweet cinnamon swirls. Burnt brown sugar follows roasted barley, drying herbs, cooked apple and that brine from the nose in the distance.
Bright, zesty notes of dried lime peels and vibrant root ginger bring a hearty finish, with salted caramel, robust oak, black tea, and prickle of pink peppercorn.
For £40 sheets it's a 5 from me. Lot's going on in the nose and palate, with a long finish. The octave casks have taken everything up a notch. Easy sip for 57%, but water muddies the flavours, so better without.
very first taste as you take a sip immediately get toffee pennies (a good thing as i raid the Christmas quality street for them) satsuma, tiniest bit leather, right at the back that earthy dunnage mustiness. I shall be getting another I think
Beautiful, complex, delicious. Second bottle ordered. Catch it while you can!
