- Description
- This 25-year-old Cambus grain from 1991 represents the craftsmanship of Duncan Taylor's octave finishing—a nine-month refinement in a small cask that accelerates interaction between spirit and wood. The tight grain character opens into honeyed notes with subtle sherry influence from the extended maturation, delivering a silky texture and lingering warmth. With only 65 bottles produced, this is a scarce expression from another shuttered Lowland grain distillery. Best appreciated neat or with minimal water by those who seek aged grain's subtle sophistication.
