Tasting Notes

NOSE: Candy necklaces and Smarties at first sniff with developing notes of stone fruits, almonds, and vanilla custard. In time there’s buttered brioche bread and café au lait.

PALATE: Delightfully oily with another round of vanilla custard and stone fruits accompanied by toasted wholewheat toast, warm granola, and candied ginger.

FINISH: Moderate length with a lingering sweetness. The barley, vanilla custard, and stone fruit notes remain.

Description

The Cambus distillery was shuttered in 1993 and later closed. Sad, too, given the spirit they produced always seemed to have a but more weight to it, something we tend to value when it comes to Single Cask Nation bottlings. Their weightier spirit, extra matured in a PX seasoned STR cask makes for a very rich, rewarding experience.
