While the nose and body is not bad at all, the oakiness is slightly overwhelming and towards the end makes the whisky a bit unpleasant, slightly disappointing considering how much this bottle would cost (~300eur)

Nose

Sweet fresh fruits, orchards, oranges, floral, baking spices, pepper

Body

Definitely an oaky whisky with gentle spices accompanying the prominent sweet fresh fruits body, a rare bottle where I think the 46% ABV is appropriate

Finish

Slightly bitter finish

Whiskyfun — Angus MacRaild

Retrieved 05 October 2026

Angus finds leafy sherry with caramel and nuts, followed by savoury broth. Herbal bitterness marks the lengthy, coastal finish. He praises the cask and its surviving Campbeltown identity.
