A completely unexpected Campbeltowner that's a genuine delight.
Tasting note: [20ml sample] From a refill Bourbon hogshead but the colour has turned a deep brass gold from a finishing in a Pedro Ximenez barrel. There's something special captured on the nose; a deft balance between PX, fresh bourbon and fresh coastal malt with a later emphasis on the bourbon sugars. Creamy on entry. Understated, young, sweet sherry and fresh American oak are lifted by whisps of cocoa and dried coconut at the finish (think Bounty Bar). Great balance for all the chocolate box flavours. Some distant peat too? One out of the hat for this region. 49.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. 378 bottles.
