Cadenhead's The Maggie 12 Year Old | 60 Bottles | Single Sherry Hogshead | Campbeltown | 70cl

Named after the beloved 1953 Ealing film about a battered Clyde puffer and the stubborn captain who refuses to let her go — a story deeply embedded in the culture of Scotland's west coast. Cadenhead's, based in Campbeltown since 1878, knows that coast better than most. The Maggie is a blended whisky matured in a single Sherry Hogshead — just 60 bottles, as intimate and unhurried as the puffer itself.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Warm and generous — dried cherry, milk chocolate and soft toffee, with toasted oak. Sherry wood gives a friendly approachable sweetness without dominating.

Palate: Smooth with a rounded mouthfeel. Christmas cake spice, orange peel, raisins, a gentle nuttiness and a touch of wood smoke.

Finish: Medium and warming — spiced fruit and gentle oak fading pleasantly.
