Lowland Single Grain Scotch Whisky Bottled by: Douglas Laing 70cl / 41.3%
A 40-year-old Cambus 1982 single cask single grain whisky from Douglas Laing, bottled without colouring or chill filtration in 2023 for the Extra Old Particular (XOP) range.
This 1982 Cambus 40-year-old came from Cask DL17181, a refill hogshead that yielded 157 bottles at its naturally low cask strength of 41.3%, so they caught this one in the nick of time!
The Cambus distillery was closed by Diageo forerunner United Distillers in 1993, and one day these fabulous long-aged grains will be no more - so we should be grateful for these remaining little treasures while we have them.

Nose: Opens roundly sweet, and full of bourbon, coffee, plus later citrus and cereal.
Palate: More (Arabica) coffee on the palate ahead of liquorice and slightly burnt vanilla toffee.
Finish: The coffee finish now carries cream and sugar, ahead of the whisky.

Admittedly, I haven't tried every whisky in the world. I like the Laphroaig, peaty and uncompromising end of the single malt scale. This is my current favourite. A brutal and beautiful drink. Harsh and refined; sour and sweet. Dangerously tasty. A real find for me, this one.
I acquired mine after someone had poured it away, and used the empty as a candle holder. Despite imbibing this Glenrothes from a drain, it was decent. 57.1% seemed to remove any of the drain ickiness. It has also somewhat dulled the pain I'm still in from recently trapping my, ahem, in my zipper.
