- Description
- Cameron Bridge's 1978 distillation underwent traditional cask aging followed by a three-month finishing in an octave cask, a technique that adds richness despite the modest outturn of 70 bottles from Duncan Taylor. The octave finishing imparts sherry influence and darker fruit character to the grain spirit base. An experimental release for those curious about how different cask regimens shape grain whisky.
