88 / 100
This reads as a richer style rather than a light one, with oily vanilla and gently charred walnuts giving the palate some weight. Salt caramel adds a softer, sweeter counterpoint, while the maritime note feels more suggestive than definite. I like that contrast, and the lively, tingling finish keeps the description from sounding too heavy. A quietly appealing character for a Campbeltown blended malt.
