IMMENSE, MANLY, MEATY AND PEATY

This 12 year old Campbeltowner is from a Refill Barrel at 62%. Immense and masculine, with Victory V's, liquorice, peat smoke, oily rags, chewing tobacco, manuka honey.

Panel's Tasting Note: "The initial nose was interesting, not stunning; carbolic, soap flakes, mineral notes and cooked ham; eventually turning floral (lavender, parma violets, gorse). Water sweetened it, bringing heather flowers, honey, tobacco, leather and salt fish. The palate, on the other hand, was truly stunning – immense, manly, meaty and peaty – we got Victory V's, liquorice, mint imperials, oily rags, cloves, chewing tobacco and Deep Heat; one panellist mentioned 'an explosion in a soap factory' someone else said 'I'm blowing smoke rings!' we thought the reduced palate absolutely fabby – chalky pandrops, peppercorns, manuka honey and sweet heathery smoke. The distillery dates from 1832."

Drinking Tip: "As accompaniment to ParaHandy (books or DVDs) or to celebrate a rugby victory."
