- Description
- Cambus distillery closed its doors decades ago, but this 34-year-old single grain from 1990 captures its character across two distinct cask influences. Beginning in refill barrel and finishing in rum cask created an unusual profile of waxy texture, honeyed melon, and notes reminiscent of waffles and toasted grain. The rum cask finish adds unexpected richness without overwhelming the grain spirit's delicate baseline. A historical bottling for grain whisky enthusiasts seeking rare closed-distillery character.
