Dram Mor Campbeltown 8 Year Old 2017

Dràm Mòr Campbeltown 8 Year Old is a limited-release Campbeltown Blended Malt Scotch Whisky independently bottled by Dràm Mòr. Distilled in 2017 and bottled in 2026, this whisky is a teaspooned malt composed primarily of Glen Scotia with a small addition of Springbank, meaning it must legally be presented as a blended malt rather than a single malt. It matured for eight years in a refill bourbon barrel, Cask #3, and was bottled at natural cask strength of 57.2% ABV. The whisky combines Campbeltown’s coastal character with honey, orchard fruit, citrus, vanilla, white pepper and gentle smoke.

Food Pairing: Smoked salmon, mature cheddar, sesame crackers, honey-glazed pork, roasted nuts or apple-based desserts.

Tasting Notes: Coastal and characterful with honeyed malt, orchard fruit and citrus balanced by vanilla, white pepper, subtle smoke and savoury sesame notes.

Nose: Barley sugar and dark molasses with honey, sea salt and coastal air, followed by citrus zest and delicate apple blossom.

Palate: Oily and full-bodied with honeyed sweetness, mixed fruit, coastal vanilla and white pepper, developing orange peel and savoury sesame-cracker notes.

Finish: Warm and gently sweet with honey, tingling spice, sesame oil and lingering coastal character.

Serve: Enjoy neat initially to experience its natural cask-strength character, then add a few drops of water to open the orchard fruit, citrus, honey and coastal notes.
