Caisteal Chamuis 12YO starts by blending a base of specially selected Island Malts which have been aged for a full twelve years in refill American Oak Hogsheads. We then re-age in a selection of Oloroso Sherry casks, including our own Solera. The age of this whisky has slightly mellowed the maritime punch of the peat, but this has been delightfully rounded up with the seductive oak-spice depth and light sweetness added by the Sherry casking. Rich with plenty of residual phenolic flavors and a distinctive smoky finish.
Mossburn Distillers is a young company with a growing whisky brand portfolio. We're here to make whiskies that appeal to those who love Scotch as truly, deeply and proudly as we do. We strive to see beyond the obvious, always choosing the road less traveled. We are whiskymakers for whisky people. We have named this whisky after Caisteal Chamuis, also known as Knock Castle or Castle Camus, was once a strategic stronghold that helped Clan Macleod secure their hold over the Sleat peninsula on
Skye, with the first elements of the castle raised in the 13th century on the site of an Iron Age fort known as Dun Thorabhaig. The castle ruins that we see today are testament to its rich and storied history. This classic Island style Blended Malt Whisky is a tribute to Hebridean life and lore, and reminds us of a time of peat fires, lively company, and bold spirits. Aged to perfection and bottled the old way, without coloring or chill-filtration.
