Campbeltown House Malt Oloroso sherry Octave cask, 7 years 2014
Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, The Whisky Cellar, 750 ml
Description
Campbeltown is one of the premier Scottish whisky regions and is well known for its oily, maritime malts, full of texture and flavour. According to the legal definition, this is a blended malt, but in reality it is a tea-spooned Glen Scotia which was decanted in August 2019 into a small first-fill Oloroso sherry Octave cask. As soon as it enters the nose, its robust character is revealed through a sherry bouquet and animal, almost meaty aromas. These are followed on the palate by sultanas and dark cherries, and this whisky ends with a spicy finish with a trace of sea salt and black pepper.

Campbeltown
Campbeltown: Salzige Eleganz
Die Kleinstadt Campbeltown liegt auf der Halbinsel Mull of Kintyre. Diese wiederum befindet sich zwischen der berühmten Whiskey-Insel Islay und dem westlichen Teil des schottischen Festlandes. Der Geschmack der Single Malts aus Campbeltown entspricht dieser besonderen Lage. Sie zeigen in der Nase einen Anflug von Rauch, Salz und Torf. Im Gaumen sind sie mittelschwer und elegant, oft mit einem Anflug von süsslichem Extrakt.
