Campbeltown Funk 11-Year PX Sherry Cask - Bold Maritime Whisky

Campbeltown Funk Captured: 11 Years in Fresh PX Sherry Cask

Simple Sample 11 Years Old Campbeltown Funk 50 cl is a bold independent bottling from the Campbeltown region, delivering its signature “Campbeltown Funk” character after 11 years of maturation. This release stands out for its full maturation in first-fill Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry casks and a robust 51.7% ABV, perfectly suited for enthusiasts seeking intensity and depth. Each 0.5L bottle arrives with a 2cl sample, inviting whisky lovers to explore its complexities at first pour.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

The whisky spent its entire ageing period in fresh PX sherry casks, which enrich the dram with dark fruit sweetness and warm spice without overpowering the inherent distillate character. Expect an oily, salty, and slightly smoky profile underpinned by damp wood aromas and an unmistakably maritime funk. The PX cask imparts a rich, velvety texture combined with a dense layering of raisins, dates, syrup, and dark fruits that enhance the whisky’s natural soul and complexity.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fat raisins, sticky dates, plum jam, dark syrup, caramelized sugar, oily maritime character, hints of smoke, damp wood, roasted nuts, leather, and honest, wild spices
• Palate: Oily and full-bodied with dark fruits, PX syrup, toffee, warm spices, creamy sweetness, evolving into salty, spicy, smoky, malty notes—well integrated funk and depth throughout
• Finish: Long and resonant with flavors of dark fruit, cocoa, oak spice, fine smoke, and a salty-oily maritime signature that lingers impressively
