This Campbeltown is part of the Warehouse No.8 series. Warehouse No.8 is located at Dalswinton Bond in the Scottish Lowlands. This warehouse is dedicated to experiments and short maturations. This whisky is a blend of at least two single malts, and given its origin, we can reasonably assume it’s made up of Springbank and Glen Scotia.
The Campbeltown 8 Years Old is a blended malt Scotch whisky that includes single malts distilled on the Campbeltown peninsula in 2016 and matured in a classic ex-bourbon oak cask before being finished for at least 6 months in a single ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry hogshead (#C24116), and bottled in 2024 at cask strength (51.8% ABV), non-chill filtered and with no added colouring, with a total outturn of 339 bottles.

Color: Golden yellow.
Nose: Enveloping and deep, with initial notes of melted caramel and milk chocolate. After a few moments, ripe figs and dates emerge, followed by a warm hint of leather and a delicate veil of spices: cinnamon and dried orange peel. The overall profile is harmonious, opulent, but never heavy.
Palate: Opens with ripe plums and cherries in spirit, followed by darker notes of dried fruit and damp tobacco. The spices provide contrast: anise, cloves, and a touch of nutmeg, all supported by an elegant and unobtrusive woody backbone. A sweet caress of honey and sponge cake soaked in syrup rounds out the palate with balance.
Finish: Of good length, playing on sweet and spicy contrasts. Sherry and stewed fruit notes are still present, but drier sensations gradually surface: a salty touch, a whisper of subtle smoke, and a mildly tannic close that recalls bitter cocoa and wet tobacco.
