- Description
- Cambus 1988 is a 30-year-old grain whisky from a now-closed Lowland distillery, matured in a single refill hogshead and bottled at cask strength by Douglas Laing. Three decades in wood have developed honeyed grain notes, subtle orchard fruit, and oak influence while retaining the characteristic lightness of Cambus grain character. Cask strength adds texture and warmth without overpowering the delicate grain foundation, creating a sophisticated study in restraint. A limited collector's bottling for those interested in closed distillery history or aged grain whisky's gentle evolution.
