2006 Claxton's Exploration Series Cameronbridge 15 Year Old Single Cask Single Grain Scotch Whisky (700ml)

At first taste this relatively young grain feels like the richer vanillas are just starting to get the better of underlying spices and astringency. Give it enough air contact and the aromas and flavours soften then expand with creaming soda, gold rum, Bourbon soaked vanillas and hints of poached pear and pineapple. Dried coconut and milk chocolate follow in an oily finish that extends the aftertaste. Defies expectations. A classic grain profile with both body and balance. Ruby Port cask matured. 50% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
