A well-aged, well finished, example of Cambus single grain whisky. For this release, Independent bottler Chapter 7 has finished a single bourbon hogshead in three-octave casks. The octaves had previously held Glen Elgin and Linkwood. Distilled in September 1988, bottled in January 2022 at cask strength of 47.6%, from single cask No.3325. Cambus 1988 is part of the Monologue range of single cask Scotch whiskies, where no two casks are the same. Monologue whisky is a unique expression. It tells the story of the distillery that produced the whisky and the cask where it matured.

Chapter 7 was founded in 2014 by Selim Evin and was named after Shakespeare's poem "The Seven Ages of Man", which Adam would consider to be his inspiration. An additional impulse also came from the family ties to whisky, and a new bottler was born. Initially inspired by the world of Scotch, the brand specialised in Grain and Irish Whisky before moving on to blending its own malts.
