Perfect Fifth 42 year old (Distilled at Cambus) 1979, 53.2%
Price: ● 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.
