Tasting Notes

Nose

Brine, malt, a gentle peat smoke. The Campbeltown maritime character is immediately present — salt, a faint oiliness, a coastal freshness. Beneath it, vanilla, cereal sweetness and a touch of citrus. At cask strength, vivid and assertive.

Palate

Full and maritime — salt, malt, a gentle smokiness. The cask strength gives the young spirit real presence and weight. Mid-palate brings caramel, toasted grain and a gentle spice. The Campbeltown character — briny, oily, slightly smoky — is beautifully expressed despite the modest age.

Finish

Medium-long, with brine and malt lingering alongside a gentle, oily warmth.

Expert Review

8.2/10

Campbeltown's youngest distillery at full power — briny, malty and full of promise.
