5.0
5.0 out of 5 stars
lovely freshness, dry, oily, waxy, green tea, kiwi, apple zest, lemony, little salty, mineral, lightly bitter maltiness, falling wet autumn leaves... very good :)
Cooked pears, aged oak and honey on the nose. Oily mouthful, with a delicious combination of toffee, lemon zest, cinnamon and aniseed spices on the palate. Relatively long, smooth and creamy finish with a slightly herbal aftertaste. Overall, this is a light, easy-drinking, but also fairly complex whisky. Very good.
We return to the Campbeltown Chronicles with this minature picked up at the Cadenhead store in London. It has a lovely nose of pine and mint, almost a rye bouquet. Hints of Vicks inhaler - you can clear your sinuses with this one. Sweet and oily in the mouth. The tangy finish is reminiscent of tom yum soup with a hint of dark chocolate -- is there a Thai dessert that captures that combination? Water brings out more mint on the palate, but it doesn't stand up well to too much dilution. Let's score this: nose 2.5/3, mouth 2/3, finish 1.5/3, bonus point 0.5/1 for balance. So 6.5/10, just a tad below four stars.
