Nose, Palate, Finish

How this dram unfolds in the glass

Nose

Damp rope, sea spray, vanilla custard with an engine-oil funk.

Palate

Salted caramel, smoke, and that unmistakable Campbeltown 'dunnage' character.

Finish

Maritime and mineral, drying to salted butter.

The Verdict

Would we buy it again at £52? Steve: yes, twice. Alan: he'd rather have the GlenDronach.

Value for money8/10

Steve calls it 'maritime perfection'. Alan says it tastes like a harbour. Steve agrees — approvingly. Both scores stand.
