- Description
- Cambus, a now-closed Lowland grain distillery, yields this 24-year-old single grain distilled in 1991 and finished for four months in an octave cask by Duncan Taylor. Extended maturation and the intimate finishing vessel create a complex, refined grain whisky with layers of vanilla, gentle oak spice, and cereal sweetness. The result is smooth and sophisticated, with surprising depth for a grain expression. A collectible piece of Scottish whisky history, limited to 65 bottles.
