Cambus Distillery has without questions produced my favorite Single Grain expressions. This bottling is absolutely NOT an exception. My favorite of this years grain selections (not withstanding the excellent 50 yo), the complexity achieved here are astounding. It's all late summer and fall on the nose for me. A picnic surrounded by fully ripe orchards followed by hike through a forest in the Adirondacks. Yellow and orange preserves. All types of exotic oils and bursting with fruit. Medium bodied, not lacking in body at all, but not a syrupy style. It kind of reminds me of the driest version of the best cognac. An absolute gem that will change even the most skeptical mind about Grain Whisky.

Notes

Whereas comparable single cask of editions of the now-closed Cambus distillery have sold for $200 or more, our direct import program continues to provide incredible value to customers interested in cutting out the middleman. This 26 year old beauty of a grain whisky is tailor-made for fans of the Nikka Coffey Still expression, albeit this one is much, much older and at full proof. The fruit and vanilla have never been richer, the palate has never been smoother, and the whisky never more drinkable than it is in this 26 year old Sovereign edition of Cambus. The whisky is practically begging to be consumed over ice and tossed back with reckless abandon. But that would probably do a disservice to the complexity that looms underneath all that obvious deliciousness. This is liquid butterscotch. It's a cookie biscuit distilled into whisky form and put into a beautiful bottle, exclusively for K&L customers.
