A rare find from an esteemed grain distillery. Four decades of maturation have afforded this superb distillate time to develop into something truly special. With honeyed sweetness and pudding flavours abundant through the nose and palate – complemented with orange, nougat and touches of aromatic spice – even those with the most ardent sweet-tooth will find this a fine substitute for dessert.

Nose: Just classic. The corn oils and Ulmo honey are in a love clinch….;

Taste: Now I’m in one…with the glass…! The Ulmo honey spreads around your palate like your lover on a rug before a log fire… And now the oak is gorgeously embedded into the corn. So the mouthfeel plays an equal role to the flavours… and they are luxurious and delicate in the extreme. A fragile blend of acacia and heather honey on one higher pitch, Ulmo honey on a deeper, and here even with a light coconut touch…;

Finish: No bitter notes, which so often happens at this age and after so much honey on display. Just a slow sunset of corn oils, still the Ulmo honey and now a wonderful but measured degree of pattering spice…;

Balance: Given the right cask and the right time, Cambus is as good as anything distilled in Scotland. Here we see it in sublime form: no major faults from the cask… and certainly not the distillate. How many varying forms and densities of sweetness can you find on one whisky? Well, here’s your chance to find out… get counting…!
