Caisteal Chamuis 12 Year Old 70cl 46%

A characterful whisky, blended from a careful selection of fine Single Malts all distilled on Islay and Orkney. Initially aged for a minimum of 12 years and then double barrelled in custom made Fresh Oloroso Sherry Butts, the result is rich and smooth, with a complex fragrant, heathery, lavender-like peat. A fascinating floral complexity gives way to sweet muscovado notes before finally evolving into a finish with concentrated sherry, crystallised fruit, and a touch of flint-smoke Named after the mysterious medieval ruin, Caisteal Chamuis (Gaelic pronunciation phonetically resembles Kash-teel Haam-oosh or for non-Gaelic speakers - Castle Camus), which lies on the headland of the eastern flank of Knock Bay, on the Isle of Skye. A tribute to Hebridean life and lore, of a time of bold spirits, lively company, and misty peat fires. A warm welcome to the world of big, peated malts.
