The Sovereign26-year-old 1988 (distilled at Cambus)
Summary
This whisky, distilled at the Cambus distillery and aged for 26 years, is a fine example of a single grain Scotch.

The extended aging period of 26 years allows for a deep maturation, resulting in a complex and refined spirit that showcases the distillery's craftsmanship.
The long maturation process in oak casks imparts a rich array of flavors and aromas to the whisky. The nose is often characterized by subtle sweetness and hints of vanilla, while the palate reveals layers of complexity with notes of oak, dried fruits, and a touch of spice. The finish is smooth and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of the whisky's well-balanced profile.
This whisky is ideal for those who appreciate the nuances of aged spirits. Its mature and dignified character makes it a perfect choice for sipping neat or with a splash of water to open up its intricate flavors. Whether you are a seasoned whisky enthusiast or a novice looking to explore the world of single grain Scotch, this 26-year-old expression from Cambus is sure to impress.
