BBQ OUTSIDE A SWEETIE FACTORY

This 9 year old from Campbeltown comes in at 58.3% after maturing in a 1st fill barrel

Flavour profile:  Oily & coastal

Outturn:  222 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "The nose evokes a candy factory, with all the machinery working – outside there is a barbecue with mackerel and chestnuts roasting; runny honey mixed with balsamic and heather burning in the distance. The palate is rather curious – sweet-cured herring and salt and chili prawns, dried seaweed, light nut oil and liquorice. The reduced nose conjures a beach bonfire with hickory smoke and tarry driftwood; peppered salami, treacle scones and burnt jam tarts (blackcurrant). The palate becomes sweeter – sugar-coated fennel seeds and Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory – also an applewood fire cooking lobster and herb sausages – spearmint and ash to finish."

Drinking tip:  "Might go well with charcuterie or smoked fish"
