CAMPFIRE CHARACTER

This 11 year old peated Highlander was bottled at 59.1% from a refill barrel

Flavour profile:  Heavily peated

Outturn:  213 bottles

Panel's tasting note: “The nose delivered hickory and campfire wood-smoke, tar and charred wood, a touch of briny sea air and sweet medicinal notes (honey Lockets lozenges, Elastoplasts, Germolene antiseptic, nurses’ aprons) with hints of coconut and vanilla flung in for good measure. The palate had a mouth-numbing peppermint and menthol antiseptic mouthwash astringency and also reminded us of ash, soot, cigarettes, liquorice and fennel seeds. The reduced nose suggested smoke drifting over jelly babies, minty marshmallow Flumps plus firesides and carbolic soap on a sea-breeze. The palate gave us a campfire character of sweet and smoky intensity. Auspiciously, the distillery name has ‘more’ in it.”

Drinking tip: “The men on the panel liked it considerably more than the women - is it a men-only, page 3 dram?”
