Cameron Bridge 26 Year Old 2022 Special Release

The Diageo Special Releases just wouldn't be the same without some lovely old grain in there, and that's exactly what we have here. For 2022, it's a textbook example from Cameronbridge, aged in refill American oak cask to create something very lovely indeed. Interestingly, it's been bottled as ‘Cameron Bridge’, a nod to the fact that until the 1870s it was spelled with two words rather than one.

Living up to the lore, this Cameronbridge expression is a regal spirit of abundant richness. Matured exclusively in refill American Oak casks, this Single Grain is sweet and smooth on the surface, but with hot spices bubbling away beneath.

NOSE: Apple and pears, with almonds, oaty cereal notes, cinnamon, and marzipan-like pastry.

PALATE: Very smooth texture, mmmmm, vanilla, almonds, custard, with just a twist of black pepper and baking spices.

FINISH: Vanilla, custard, a touch of wood tannin, and woody spice.
