Cambus 27 yo (1991/2019), Càrn Mòr – Single Cask #61976, 60.6%

Introduction

The Cambus 27-year-old is a remarkable testament to Scotland’s grain whisky heritage, produced by a legendary distillery that ceased operations in 1993, making this bottling a precious liquid artifact from a bygone era.

Production Method

• Raw materials: Premium Scottish grain (primarily wheat) distilled at the historic Cambus distillery in the Lowlands region of Scotland
• Distillation process: Continuous column still distillation, characteristic of grain whisky production, creating a lighter, cleaner spirit
• Maturation: Aged for 27 years in a single sherry butt (cask #61976), allowing for significant oak influence and complex flavor development
• Special techniques: Single cask bottling at natural cask strength without chill filtration, preserving all original characteristics and oils

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich vanilla, toffee, and dried fruits with hints of sherry-soaked raisins, oak spice, and subtle coconut notes
• Palate: Intensely rich with layers of butterscotch, dark chocolate, and stewed fruits, complemented by warming oak spices, cinnamon, and nutmeg
• Finish: Exceptionally long and warming with lingering notes of sweet spice, dried fruits, and polished oak

Recommended Serving

• Serving temperature: Room temperature (16-18°C)
• Glass recommendation: Tulip-shaped whisky glass or Glencairn to concentrate the aromas
• Serving ideas: Best enjoyed neat initially; a few drops of water can help tame the high ABV and reveal additional complexity
• Food pairings: Dark chocolate, dried fruits, or rich desserts with caramel elements

Product Specifications

• Alcohol content: 60.6% ABV (cask strength)
• Bottle size: 70cl
