Campbell’s Over 5 Years DeLuxe Blended Scotch Whisky

Campbell’s Over 5 Years DeLuxe Blended Scotch Whisky is a vintage export bottling, likely from the 1970s–1980s, and often found in ceramic decanters or glass bottles labeled for European markets. While formal reviews are scarce, we can build a speculative profile based on its age, style, and blending conventions—especially its connection to the Clan Campbell lineage.

Speculative Tasting Notes: Campbell’s Over 5 Years Deluxe

Appearance: Golden amber with a soft glow—likely modest caramel coloring typical of the era.

Nose: Grain sweetness with hints of vanilla, honey, and toasted oats. Light floral tones—heather and rosewater. Subtle dried fruit—apple peel, sultana, and a touch of figFaint smoke, likely Highland peat rather than coastal brine

Palate: Light to medium body with a creamy texture. Notes of malt biscuit, toffee, and gentle spice—nutmeg and cinnamon. Hints of green apple, pear, and soft herbal tones. Possibly a trace of metallic edge from aged grain whisky

Finish: Medium length, warming and dry. Lingering malt sweetness, oak, and a whisper of pepper

Historical Context

The “Over 5 Years” age statement suggests a youthful but rounded blend, likely grain-forward with a touch of Speyside malt—Aberlour was a known contributor to Clan Campbell blends

Bottled at 43% ABV, offering a touch more body than standard 40% blends

The “DeLuxe” designation implies a slightly elevated profile, possibly with longer-aged components or a higher malt ratio
