CAL-MAC WELDER'S TEA BREAK

This 14 year old Campbeltown malt has been bottled at 53.3% from a refill hogshead cask

Flavour profile:  Oily & coastal

Panel's tasting note:  "On the nose, the sweet charabanc of sugar puffs, Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, fudge cookies, honey and chocolate flapjacks collided into the savoury wall of smoky bacon crisps, barbecued prawns and baked ham. The palate was also a crash site – big, rich and chewy, with cinder toffee, spiced sultanas and dark honey on toast scattered in a frightening wreckage of charcoal, ash, liquorice sticks, peat reek and industrial garages. The reduced nose suggested a welder on a Cal-Mac ferry enjoying a Daim Bar. The palate – sweet and (we thought) acceptably dirty with a big spicy finish. From the ‘quiet outsider’ distillery in Campbeltown."

Drinking tip:  "To aid the visceral enjoyment of a brutal rugby match"
