Cambus 40Y

Nose:  cambus 40y fairly gentle start, a little ethereal with eucalyptus and glue notes on a background of sweet fruit gums (pineapple and strawberry). Growing thicker. Dried coconut and green almonds. Plenty of minty notes. Oak dust and varnish. Something of caramelized white chocolate as well (delicious).

Mouth: oily, with the classic notes up front (vanilla, leather, coconut, maple syrup) but in a second wave also great tropical fruits. Mango, pink grapefruit, guava. Not unlike some old BenRiach or Irish whiskey – not that common in a grain whisky. A slight rummy note too. A little pepper and fruit tea towards the end.

Finish:  medium long, on darker fruits (cassis), chocolate and lime
