Quashes the theory that grain whisky cannot be taken seriously. Marvelously complex, surely containing the fabulous Cambus. The first classic of its genre.

Taster

Nose: A classic amalgamation of prime and old grain. Very sexy, indeed.

Palate: A crisp, clean mouth arrival.

Finish: Oaky tones fill the spectrum from cocoa to vanilla.

Comment: Quashes the theory that grain whisky cannot be taken seriously. Marvelously complex, surely containing the fabulous Cambus. The first classic of its genre.

Score: 8.3

Taster

Nose: Earthy. Surprising suggestions of smokiness.

Palate: Very firm. Steely. Hints of charcoal in the flavour. Roasted peppers. Chilli.

Finish: Very Warming.

Comment: Remarkably flavoursome and enjoyable for a blend of grain whiskies.
