Campbeltown Loch Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Quite honestly tastes a lot like springbank 10, but perhaps a touch younger.

If you are a fan of Glen Scotia, then this one is for you. I get no hint of Springbank at all. Nice price, drinkable and pretty available from what i have seen.

Some call it the poor man's Springbank, a blended malt of young, subpar or leftover casks. Well, let's find out! Citric, funky and youthful, the nose starts off with spiced oranges, mild pepper and whiffs of peat smoke. Engine oil, brine and raisins appear. The firm arrival is accompanied by marmalade, lemon drops and slightly earthy notes before it shifts towards baking spices, pears and melon. Lime, black tea and emerging peatiness carry over into the zesty, fresh and mildly dry finish. It is not more than the sum of its parts, but it gives me a Campbeltown fix.
