NEAT
NOSE - Pear, Apple, Honey, welcoming Aged Leather and an inticing funk that I can’t pick out.
PALATE - Oily and Viscous. It feels sticky and syrupy as it rolls around on the palate. The pear, apple and honey come through on the palate along with a surprise of a very light brown sugar.
FINISH - Vanilla, lightly salted butterscotch toffee and a flash of peat smoke at the very end.
BUY? - Absolutely.
BUY AGAIN? - Absolutely.
SUMMARY - I haven’t had too many scotches but I am trying to grow my palate and appreciate new things. This is my first Campbeltown Whisky and wow! This dram is incredibly complex, inviting, and interesting. There is so much flavor here and so much character. The mouthfeel is unbelievable for the ABV/age and I’m looking forward to finding a 16 year in the wild because I can only imagine what that would taste like. If you see this, buy it! I look forward to revisiting this time and time again to see how it develops and what more notes I could pull out and discover from this beautiful whisky!
