Description
From James Eadie comes this Cambus, a 26 year old release distilled in 1993, from cask 48094 and bottled at 55.4%. 617 bottles in all. Cambus was a founding distillery of DCL, making grain whisky in Clackmannanshire until it closed in 1993. With the distillery long closed, every bottle is drawn from a finite, dwindling stock.
The spirit was made in twin Coffey stills before the distillery closed, for a light, sweet make of real purity. A sherry cask held it, the wood lending raisin and walnut. Long ageing brings a deep coconut, toffee and a mellow, polished oak. Light grain takes oak readily, the ex-Bourbon lending coconut and vanilla over many years. A fire destroyed the distillery in 1914; it was rebuilt and resumed in the late 1930s. Cambus was once one of the largest grain distilleries in Scotland. Most surviving Cambus was distilled in the late 1980s and early 1990s, before the doors closed.
At 55.4%, undiluted, it is deep and sweet. The Oloroso brings dried fruit and a nutty depth over the sweet grain. It is soft and deep, the grain and oak well matched. A warming, sweet finish lingers. This is the dessert sweet grain of silent Cambus.
