ENIGMATIC BIG FLOOZY

Matured 11 years in a First Fill Shery Butt and bottled at a natural cask strength of 54.6%.

Panel's Tasting Note: "The nose was curious – an enigma – with roasted chestnuts, caramelized figs, slightly burnt raisins in a fruit cake, spit-roasted lamb and 'smouldering compost'. We also found ash, heather, marmite, grease guns and tar. The palate was described, ungenerously, as a 'big floozy' – tar, burnt raisins, over-cooked tajine, cinder toffee, dirty caramel, singed hair and barbequed sardines. The reduced nose put us in mind of the wrapping on a fish supper. The reduced palate, despite earlier hesitations, was surprisingly good and scored well – now quite creamy, with gentle sweetness – chocolate-coated toffee, Daim bars and Madeira wine. From Campbeltown's oldest surviving distillery."

Drinking Tip: "To accompany something from the chip shop."
