On the occasion of the 2023 edition of the Campbeltown Malts Festival, the distillery offers this limited edition of 24,000 copies, a lightly peated Whisky, having aged 10 years in American Bourbon barrels, then a one-year finish in White Port casks .

Let's Taste It : 

Beautiful smoothness at the start, red but light fruits, damson and lychee, red and white currants. Pomegranate seeds. Then it becomes woody, with black berries and damp bark, undergrowth, but also marine touches, iodine, limestone and foam. On the palate, it's sweet, prune, apricot, oranges, and I also recognize the distillery markers, both mineral and marine, cola and caramel, beautiful spices, intense without being too strong, cardamom and nutmeg, light pepper. Fairly long and ample finish, charcoal, a hint of liquorice, syrupy, almost vinous, a grain of blackcurrant. Clove.

 

In Short, 

The finish brings a beautiful fruitiness, but I also found all the markers of the distillery, which gives a beautiful bottling, pleasant to drink. The price is a little high but still o.k., given the current market. A purchase is possible for lovers of this distillery.
