Cambus 40 y.o. 1975 Distilled Limited Edition Cask Strength
$2,200.00
The Cambus distillery dates back to the early 1800s - it was opened in 1836 in a village that shares its name near Alloa. Here it quietly produced its whiskies, becoming one of the first members of the Distillers Company Ltd. In 1913, a fire destroyed much of the distillery, forcing it to close until 1938. Cambus produced grain Whiskey, a lot of which made its way into blends, though you can still find independent bottlings of their single grain if you’re lucky. The distillery was closed in 1993.

Product Notes
Cambus 40 Year Old is a rare and highly sought-after single grain Scotch whisky that was distilled at the now-closed Cambus Distillery in 1975 and bottled in 2015. This whisky was aged for 40 years in American oak ex-bourbon casks, which has resulted in a rich, complex and sophisticated flavour profile. On the nose, Cambus 40 Year Old has notes of vanilla, toffee, and honey, with hints of oak and a touch of spice. The palate is smooth and velvety, with flavours of caramel, butterscotch, and dried fruit, with a hint of nuttiness and a long, warming finish. The whisky is presented in a beautiful wooden case, and only a limited number of bottles were produced, making it a rare and highly collectible whisky for any whisky connoisseur. Due to its rarity and age, Cambus 40 Year Old is considered a luxurious and premium whisky, with a price tag to match.
