Cooper's Choice Golden Cut Campbeltown Martinique Rum Fin 50% Single Malt Whisky (700ml)

The Golden Cut Campbeltown 2014 Blended Malt was first matured in American white oak casks, followed by a finishing period in a specially selected Martinique rum cask. This meticulous double-maturation process balances the signature oily, coastal character of Campbeltown with the exotic, vibrant sweetness of the Caribbean. Technically a "blended malt," this expression is a "teaspooned" whisky, hailing from one of the region's most famous, undisclosed distilleries with a mere drop of another malt added to preserve the secret of its origin.

"The Golden Cut Collection" is a premium series within The Coopers Choice range, curated to showcase small batches and single casks where the spirit and the wood have reached a point of perfect harmony. The name refers to the "heart of the run," the most desirable portion of the distillation, and the series is designed to deliver a bold, honest, and unadulterated experience. Every bottling in this collection is presented at a robust 50% ABV, without chill-filtration or artificial colouring, ensuring the true character of the cask remains intact.

On the nose, this 2014 vintage offers a basket of tropical fruits and caramelized vanilla, underpinned by a distinct salty sea spray.

The palate is rich and oily, revealing layers of honeyed malt, guava, and cooked peaches, which gradually give way to a prickly ginger spice.

The finish is remarkably long, blending the sweetness of the rum cask with the earthy, leathery "funk" that has made Campbeltown the world’s most sought-after whisky region.

This limited-edition release is a centrepiece for any serious collection. With only 318 bottles produced, each is a rare opportunity to taste a "unicorn" spirit profile from Scotland’s smallest whisky region. Presented in The Coopers Choice's signature elegant styling, it is as much a conversation piece as it is a world-class dram.
