Perfect Fifth 42 year old (Distilled at Cambus) 1979, 53.2%

Price: 1300 Issue: Spring 2022 Reviewer: Jonny McCormick Category: Single Grain Scotch


A grain whisky from a silent distillery, with a nose of toffee, maple syrup, a heady buzz of oak spices, and a dry nuttiness, accompanied by notes of keemun tea, high-cocoa chocolate, and polished antique oak furniture. It's a mellow and chill drinking experience, with a lovely oak influence—though not over oaked—and flavors of maple syrup, pepper, nutty toffee, vanilla pod, baked pear, brown sugar, and pecan cookies.
