Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Deep amber with rich mahogany tones.
Nose
Mature and complex with dried stone fruits, toffee, and aged oak. A subtle maritime note threads through with hints of leather and dark chocolate.
Palate
Sophisticated palate with excellent balance. Rich sherry influence provides depth, while the ex-bourbon cask maturation adds vanilla and subtle spice. Well-integrated wood tannins frame notes of raisin, caramel, and a gentle brine.
Finish
Long, warming finish with dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a distinctive Campbeltown salinity that persists beautifully.
