Description

Formed after Fred and Stewart Laing parted ways in 2013, Hunter Laing is under ownership of the latter and his two sons. The company took over Edition Spirits and began releasing their First Editions series. Since the demerger, Hunter Laing claimed the following ranges: Old Malt Cask; Old and Rare Selection; and the Sovereign. As a company with a rich history in producing luxury blends, Hunter Laing bottled this Cambus 30 Year Old 1988 vintage Lowland single grain Scotch whisky as a rare example of the lost Scottish distillery. It was selected and bottled exclusively for The Whisky Barrel.

Nose
peach, apricot, and plums. Lemon meringue pie, caramel and soft peppery hints. Lovely sweet nectar, with quite a bit of fruit: plum, nectarine, and apricot, some stewed fruit as well, and spices, not a whole lot of wood, but there's some indeed. ginger powder, and a hint of balsamic and acetone as well.
Palate
sweet with forest fruits, dark chocolate, and coconut. Heavy honey notes with nutmeg, butterscotch and a hint of strawberry. Quite sharp on entry, with an abundance of wood shavings, coconut, and more fruit on the second wave of sensations, some dark chocolate, acetone, and wood spices, such as cinnamon and clove.
Finish
long with a lingering hint of cinnamon. Milk chocolate, red apple, brown sugar and cinnamon. Sweet grain, dark chocolate, vanilla and caramel.
