Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright fruit — apple, pear, white grape — then orange blossom honey, beeswax, lemon peel, a faint earthy undertone from the Campbeltown character

Palate

Briny maritime character dominates — green apple, apricot, honey, oak warmth, marzipan and nougat nuttiness, distinctly coastal and oily

Finish

Moderate length — coastal essence, dried pineapple, vanilla custard, some dryness, charcoal edge fading to salt air

Expert Review

7.5/10

One of only three surviving Campbeltown distilleries — from a town that once housed over thirty. Founded 1832, famously haunted by former owner Duncan MacCallum who drowned in Campbeltown Loch in 1930 after being swindled. Non-chill filtered at 46%, matured in first-fill bourbon and refill American oak. A distinctly maritime whisky.
