This 21 year blended Scotch whisky is produced by the owners of the Springbank Distillery, J & A Mitchell & Sons. It's comprised of a 60:40 blend of grain and malt whiskies. The grain is sourced from Girvan, a major grain distillery owned by William Grant in the Scottish Lowlands just on the other side of the Isle of Arran from Campbeltown. J & A Mitchell gives no details about the malt component, other than to say that it is the product of a single distillery. Bottled at 46% ABV.

As a blend of grain and malt, it tastes heavy on the grain. Rougher than you’d expect from a 21 year old. The initial taste is grapefruit and floral, with a hint of smoke and petrol. A long finish. Not one for me!
Simply fantastic… raisins, a bit floral, then comes oak and a hint of leather and ends up with herbs… thyme or so
Quite peppery and tannic. Honestly might prefer standard campbeltown loch
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
