Words Of Whiskly

Patience is rewarded in the case of this Cambus. Balanced and fairly complex too. I like it!

Nose
I know grain whiskies need to breathe, but I find it hard to get used to that. An hour in and it still is very simple. Let's wait another half hour then. A little less herbal than when I first nosed it right after pouring myself a glass. Still a fair amount of varnish, but also some frosting, coconut and vanilla. Pine needles too, but also some peanuts and creme brûlée. Quite good now.

Taste
Did not expect it to be as creamy and mouthcoating as it is. Scoring points here. Also lots of cappuccino. Mocha. Very reminiscent of a bourbon. Quite a lot of wood and plenty of vanilla sweetness. Orange liqueur too. Pine sap. Brown sugar.

Finish
Sweet and long.
