- Description
- Cambus' first official bottling in over a century, this 1975 vintage grain whisky was aged for 40 years and released as a flagship of Diageo's 2016 Special Releases. The palate balances classic grain whisky structure with pronounced orchard and stone fruit character, creating an unusually complex and fruity expression. At 52.7% ABV, the texture is full and oily with a dry, cereal-driven finish. Ideal for grain whisky enthusiasts seeking depth beyond the everyday dram.
