What I say:
Sampled during Water of Life Society Tasting Event #3 Going with the grain
Next we moved onto the single grain whisky from Cameron Bridge distillery called Cameron Brig. Still at only 40% this whisky had little else going for it in character. A lovely [probably caramel] gold colour, this dram smelled like ethanol and methylated spirits [methanol], this had a buttery chemical taste and was reasonably vaporous in the mouth with a short harsh finish. Of all the whiskies we tried this tasted the most like it had been formulated in a laboratory and was purely a bunch of chemicals in a bottle…
