87 / 100
Finally, a cask strength Campbeltown that doesn't just lean on its name. This 57.6% pour delivers a solid kick of dark malt and industrial grit without getting lost in the hype. The mix of sherry and bourbon casks is handled well, providing a nice oak grip and plenty of warm spice. It is a punchy, direct dram for those who actually enjoy high-proof character rather than just collecting labels.
