Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Golden amber with rich bronze highlights.
Nose
Fresh maritime air with hints of green apple, vanilla, and subtle brine. Develops into soft orchard fruits and gentle spice with time in the glass.
Palate
Smooth and creamy with balanced sweetness from the sherry casks. Notes of toffee, dried fruits, and a light peppery warmth. The palate shows restraint typical of Campbeltown character with a touch of brine.
Finish
Medium finish with lingering warmth, salt, and a hint of cocoa. The wood spices fade gracefully into oak tannins.
