Cameronbridge – 1976 50 Years Old Alambic Classique Spanish Octave Sherry Barrel (70cl, 51.6%)

This is a 50-year-old single grain whisky from Cameronbridge in the Alambic Classique Rare & Old Selection, distilled in 1976 and bottled in 2026 in a 70cl bottle. It matured in a Spanish octave sherry barrel, and only 82 bottles were filled, at 51.6% ABV. Orange marmalade and dark stewed fruit lead the nose, with toasted coconut, vanilla, caramel and Christmas spice. The palate is creamy and sweet, with coconut, nuts and tropical fruit, then oak spice and a fine bitterness. The finish is long, ending dry and mild with sweet toasted notes.
