Clan Campbell Highlander Scotch Whisky 12 Year Old
Out of stock
For hundreds of years power in Scotland lay in the hands of great family groupings, or clans. One of the oldest families is Clan Campbell dating back to 1216.
The Campbells rose from the remote Highlands to become the greatest clan of all. There is hardly an event of importance in Scotland's history in which they did not play a leading role.
Until only recently, Clan Campbell Highlander 12 year old was reserved exclusively for the Dukes of Argyll, and leading members of the Campbell clan. Only whiskies of the highest quality are selected to produce Clan Campbell Highlander.

Tasting Notes
Colour
A sun-warmed amber, rich with copper-gold sheen and a hint of mahogany.
Nose
Rich sherry aroma cloaks dark fruit and toasted sweetness: raisin, fig and prune mingle with orange zest, cocoa and almond. Velvet toffee and caramel weave with warm oak and vanilla, while a whisper of spice and toasted barley lends poised, Highland elegance.
Palate
Silky and medium-bodied, the palate offers lush sherry sweetness—raisin, fig and dark cherry—woven with toasted almond, cocoa and vanilla. Oak spice blooms as cinnamon and clove meet a caramel warmth. Rich fruit skins give way to a refined finish, where rancio notes and subtle oak linger with quiet, elegant warmth.
Finish
Medium-long and elegant, the finish carries sherry-soaked sweetness of fig and raisin, finished with toffee and toasted oak. A gentle spice sweeps in, cinnamon and clove, along with cocoa nib, drifting to a smooth, velvety fade that lingers with quiet warmth.
