The Local Barley is an annual release showcasing Campbeltown’s local farming traditions, crafted entirely from barley grown on neighboring farms for a true ‘grain-to-glass’ experience. Each batch produced carries its own unique character, shaped by varying farms, barley varieties, and cask maturations. Distilled in 2010, this expression is matured in a combination of 60% bourbon and 40% sherry casks before being bottled at a robust 54.1% ABV.
NOSE
Packed with sweet fruitiness, ripe bananas and a hint of cinnamon.
PALATE
The whisky’s creamy, oily texture takes center stage, followed by a peppery and malty note, before unfolding layers of strawberries, raisins, and salted caramel.
FINISH
The finish reveals subtle peat smoke in the background, complemented by sweet fruitiness, maltiness, and dunnage earthiness, with a hint of dryness.
