Who Was The Sändebud?
Colin Campbell (1 November 1686 – 9 May 1757) In 1720, facing ruinous debt, Campbell fled Edinburgh for Ostend, where he made a name for himself as a merchant. Eyeing an opportunity in Sweden, in 1731 Campbell teamed up with two well-connected merchants, Niclas Sahlgren and Henric König, to form the Swedish East India Company, a powerful trading business that brought new wealth to Sweden. As the Company’s main driving force, Campbell oversaw many of the highly lucrative trade missions to the Far East. Campbell himself was Sweden’s first Ambassador to China. As Gothenburg grew into a major maritime centre, so too did Campbell’s influence and wealth. He was knighted, naturalised and became a Swedish noble. An honourable man, he kept his word and paid back the substantial debts he’d accrued as a younger man back in Scotland. Campbell died in 1757, and was interred in Gothenburg Cathedral. Campbell documented his first voyage but destroyed the manuscript to stop it being seized when the Dutch boarded his ship. He later reconstructed it from memory and it was published in 1996 (A passage to China: Colin Campbell’s diary of the first Swedish East India Company expedition to Canton, 1732-33).

Producer Description
"It’s a potion that Angus cooked up in collaboration with the good folk at Ardnamurchan Distillery. It’s a mix of 1st fill and 2nd fill, peated and unpeated sherry octaves. We mixed them all together and married them in a refill sherry butt for over six months until the whole potion turned 7 years old, then we bottled it with slight reduction at 57.1%. For those of you that deify transparency, here’s the recipe...
- 2017 – Unpeated 1st Fill Sherry
- 2017 – Peated 1st Fill sherry
- 2017 – Peated 1st Fill Sherry
- 2017 – Peated Refill Sherry
- 2016 – Unpeated Refill sherry
- 2016 – Unpeated Refill Sherry
- 2016 – Unpeated Refill Sherry
- 2016 – Unpeated 1st Fill Sherry
"We wanted to celebrate and mark the final edition of Whisky Sponge with a whisky that was excellent quality, one that was collaborative and that we’d had a role in creating and making unique to us, and that was modern in the best sense and looked to the future. We feel we have succeeded in this – we hope you agree. Now, please buy a bottle of this whisky, place it into your rucksack, put on a sturdy pair of brogues and walk to the far West Highlands of Scotland, whereupon you will spend the rest of your days communing with nature and enjoying erotic woodland rituals with whoever will agree to participate. Good luck and farewell!

$229.99
Bottled at 53%, this 7 year old Ardnamurchan is the product of whisky from 2017 and 2018, including 2 peated malts matured in refill Oloroso (2017) and an unpeated malt matured in 1st fill Oloroso Sherry (2018).
Producer Description
"This is a sort of sequel to Whisky Sponge Edition No.100. We took a similar approach but on a smaller scale and with a slightly lower targeted bottling strength of 53%. The objective being to achieve immediate and maximum quaffability, while once again drilling into this rich profile of peat, small cask influence and sherry. We took three octaves of Ardnamurchan to make this bottling: two sibling v.17 peated refill oloroso octaves were marred for around four months in a refill barrel with a v.18 unpeated first fill oloroso octave. The result, we are confident, is lip-smackingly delicious!"
