Cameronbridge 34 years old 1978 Dimensions Review

By Miguel in Tasting , Cameronbridge

Very old grain whiskies are something nasty and spesky… you shouldn’t drink them. But I did the supreme sacrifice in your name and tasted this Cameronbridge. Well! What can you expect of a beverage created in something more close to an oil refinery than a whisky distillery? Move on, move on… it is all mine :)

“All you can expect from a very old grain whisky. I really love this style of candies, fruits and spices”

92
Cameronbridge 34 Year Old 1978 - Dimensions (Duncan Taylor)

This dram has a amber-like color.

Nose (92): more than average. honey, flowers, vanilla, candies, ginger, cherries, wood, cinnamon.

Palate (93): powerful, oily. honey, spices, wood, candies, flowers, cinnamon, ginger, pineapple.

Finish (92): longer than average. honey, pineapple, vanilla.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this Cameronbridge 34 Year Old 1978 - Dimensions (Duncan Taylor) with 92 points over 100.

Miguel says…

Just to think that a few years ago you could buy this stuff for less than £100… a damn fantastic whisky if you want my opinion.

If you have tasted them I can no longer conceal the secret so anyway, let me show you what we tasted blindly. It was quite fun and surprising because all but one of the samples were guessed by someone. My nose isn’t so skilled on grain whisky. Pity!.
