Tasting Notes and Technical Description:
Visual Appearance:
Upon decanting, the whisky showcases a shimmering amber hue with hints of golden straw, reflective of its maritime origin. The liquid’s silky appearance speaks volumes about its maturation process.
Nose (Aroma):
The aroma is an alluring interplay between maritime salinity and earthy, woodsy notes. Subtler fragrances of dried fruit and a medley of nuts come through, offset by hints of sweet tobacco and a dash of coastal brine. It's a captivating and balanced nose that beckons the taster into the depths of the whisky.
Palate (Taste):
The palate unfolds with a profound richness, a testament to its 21 years of careful aging. Initial sips reveal dried fruits—mainly apricots and raisins—that are beautifully complemented by a tapestry of spice including black pepper and nutmeg. The maritime salinity detected on the nose manifests as a subtle mineral quality on the palate, offering a unique contrast to the whisky's inherent sweetness.
Finish:
The finish is notably long-lasting and warming, offering a gentle fade-out that leans on spiced oak, a touch of caramel, and the consistent, yet not overpowering, note of sea spray. It is, in a word, enduring.
Mouthfeel:
This blended Scotch offers a mouthfeel that is both creamy and light, a characteristic balance that can be attributed to its well-structured blend of grain and malt whiskies. It coats the mouth subtly, allowing the flavors to linger but not overwhelm.
Third Base Market & Spirits Perspective:
Campbeltown Loch Blended Scotch is an ideal expression for whisky enthusiasts looking to explore the less-ventured territories of the Scotch world. Despite being a blend, it offers complexities and nuances that can easily rival those found in single malts from the same region. Its age statement of 21 years ensures a depth and maturity that are instantly recognizable from the first sip.
Availability:
Given its limited availability and age statement, we consider this bottle a valuable addition to our collection at Third Base Market & Spirits. Whether you’re an established Scotch aficionado or a curious beginner, this offering is an excellent gateway into the distinctive world of Campbeltown whiskies.
As a curated choice at Third Base Market & Spirits, Campbeltown Loch Blended Scotch Whisky serves as a rich tapestry of maritime flavors and traditional Scotch characteristics. This well-balanced, sophisticated blend is a tribute not only to its region but to the art of whisky blending itself. A bottle of Campbeltown Loch is not just a drink; it's an experience steeped in history and craftsmanship, and we are delighted to offer it for your tasting pleasure.
