Cameron Bridge 26 year old (Diageo Special Releases 2022), 56.2%
Price: ● Issue: Winter 2022 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Grain Scotch
Matured in refill American oak, the nose has honey on hot porridge, peppercorn, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, green foliage, and hints of toffee. At full strength there is orange peel, grapefruit, pepper, red apple, and fiery spices, followed by pomegranate and cherry Life Savers, with more measured fruitiness as the spices ebb away. Although the grain distillery is named Cameronbridge, the expression’s name acknowledges past bottlings like Cameron Brig.
