GUNS ON THE GROUSE MOOR

From Campbeltown, this 16 year old spent its life in a refill gorda and is 58.3%

Flavour profile:  Oily & coastal

Outturn:  738 bottles

Panel's tasting note:  "The panel imagined themselves on a misty moor cupping a mug of consommé laced with sherry while munching custard filled doughnuts and caramel bars for breakfast. In the distance was a trail of burning heather and a plume of gun smoke. Lunch was a fine spread of mustard crusted gammon, dressed crab, Iberico ham and honey glazed ribs. For dessert, sherry trifle, zabaglione and chewy orange fudge. A shower of rain amplified all the aromas and flavours, increasing the sweetness. The hunt for game ended with damp hairy tweeds scented with eucalyptus and wild boar on the grill." 

Drinking tip:  "After a bracing day on the hill"
