XOP Cameronbridge 43 Year Old 1978

Volume: 700ml / ABV: 53.1%

An indie bottling of single grain Scotch whisky from the Cameronbridge Distillery, and a rather well-matured one at that! This expression was distilled back in January 1978 and aged in a single refill barrel for a huge 43 years before being bottled in September 2021. A release of just 200 bottles.

Tasting Note

The nose opens with a grand overture of fine wood, Madagascan vanilla pods and subtle liquorice. Detect more of the initial wood on the palate, then follows dark fruit gums, strawberry jam and a touch of peppermint. The finish is long with a peppery spice, Scottish sticky toffee pudding and a warm toffee sauce.
