It arrived.
Nose: Heavy smoke, strong Campbeltown earthy funk, dark/dried fruits, a hint of ash. It fucking reeks in the best way.
Palate: Strong Campbeltown earthy funk, lemon, light fruits, brine. Doesn't burn nearly as much as you'd expect for the ABV. Thick, velvety mouthfeel
Finish: Smoke and oak.
I'm not great at picking out or describing individual flavors; there's a LOT more going on here than I can describe. I can't even begin to comprehend this on first tasting.
It's kind of like Longrow with the smoke turned up to 11 and the Campbeltown funk turned up to 15; a supremely characterful, interesting flavor bomb. Those of you who have had Springbank or Longrow will know what I mean by Campbeltown funk; it's a unique funk and it's much louder here than in the Springbank distillery releases I've had.
I can't stop sipping this. I don't think I'll have a firm grasp of this until at least halfway through the bottle.
In b4 I'm quoted alongside a neckbearded Wojak.
