Bottlings
April 27, 2013
There is an unusual amount of spices in this sherried malt, the fruit is almost in the background. It is quite dry but still pleasant on the palate. – Rating: 85/100
April 21, 2013
Not really too strawberry-y, but the “ganache” descriptor is quite fitting. Expect some tannins. – Rating: 85/100
May 18, 2012
An old-style malt with a nice combination of flavours, maybe just a little too sweet. – Rating: 85/100
December 6, 2011
A very fine dram, old and richly flavoured. The price tag is quite steep, though – Rating: 86/100
September 9, 2010
The marvelous nose makes lots of promises but there is a subliminal soapiness on the palate that destroys all hopes of getting to enjoy a fine aged Campbeltown malt. – Rating: 72/100
