EXPLOSION IN A HONEY FACTORY

A Campbeltown cracker from a Refill Sherry Butt, bottled shy of 8 years and 60%. A Gold Medal winner in Whisky Mag

Panel's Tasting Note: "This starts as an afternoon tea dram – buttered crumpets with honey, honey on burnt toast – then honey-roast almonds, buttery toffee, salt toffee gradually becomes more of an evening beside a smoky fire. The taste explodes this comfortable image – dirty smoke and hessian after a sweet start; the crumpets still buttery, but now burnt – and water continues the grubby theme – this is after all from Campbeltown (and an excellent example of the town's No. 2 distillery) – with a whiff of struck matches behind pancakes lathered in maple syrup. Add only a little water. Now the texture is smooth, the sherry-notes more apparent; sweet overall, with hessian in the finish."

Drinking Tip: "Drinking tip: With a North American breakfast."
