Coming Soon - 2017 Watt Whisky Campbeltown 7 Year Old Cask Strength Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
"...absolutely lovely! Bravo! " - whiskyfun.com
If you didn't already know, Watt Whisky are Campeltown based, so it's appropriate that they chose a local blend to commemorate their 100th cask. They've pumped up an already very good malt with more than a teaspoon of something quite special (we're informed that it's a Glen Scotia that's had a good “ladling” of 28-year-old Springbank). Fun, different and apparently, it doesn't taste immature. The yield was 246 bottles at 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... Attention, this was the 100th bottling from Watt Whisky aka Campbeltown Whisky Company Ltd.! That’s worth celebrating! As usual, we’re a bit late to the party, but bravo Kate and Mark! Colour: light gold. Nose: well now, this is more engaging – there’s a touch of engine oil, linseed oil, amaretti, pumpernickel spread with fresh butter, even a few tiny oysters, all layered atop the classic apple and pear base. With water: a brand-new Harris Tweed jacket. I swear. Mouth (neat): we’re back on oil, oyster shells, a few drops of petrol, a dab of light peat, and even hints of diesel and acetone, Jamaican style. Truly. With water: right, at heart it’s still apple, beer and barley. Finish: same again – apple, beer and barley – though there’s a persistent saline tang hanging in the background. Comments: absolutely lovely! Bravo! 87 points - whiskyfun.com
...You sense the youth, but this offers a good mix of Campbeltown funk, subtle peat and enough roundness to keep it accessible. Hard to fault if you’re looking for a glu-glu whisky from Watt’s home town. - whiskynotes.be
Notes from the bottlers... Creamy and funky, faint peat, pebble beaches, custard tarts, olive oil and apricots.
