A second tasting completely confirmed the first one. This wonderful whisky is unfortunately very difficult to find nowadays. a great fresh and spicy whisky, remarkably complex, balanced and refined. A real monument. What a whisky! What a distillery!
A pleasant mix of sherry and (discrete) coconut with a very slight touch of citrus fruit (orange) characterizes a rather complex nose. The same complexity in the palate, with however a bitter feeling, probably due to the wood of the cask. Just like an older whisky.
The finish is lingering and pleasant, with also some slightly acid hints and bitter woody touches.
Just like all other whiskies from this mythic Campbeltown distillery, the 12 years old version is not chill filtered. The whisky is extremely complex and balanced, with smoke and peat hints, but not too much. A very great whisky, just for great occasions, because such a wonder deserves to be appreciated. One of the best whiskies I ever tasted.
The nose has very nice hints of sherry mixed with notes of coconut.
A very fresh and very engaging nose. Marshmallow too.
The mouth is sublime. Beautiful blend of sherry and coconut with a touch of acidity for freshness and a hint of wood for the depth. Very beautiful mouth. Remarkable balance.
The finish is long and very pleasant also marked by coconut and sherry.
