HTFW Cat. No: LP7422
Cask Strength Distillery Bottling

The oldest release of the 2016 Diageo limited releases range went to this silent grain distillery that closed in 1993 that was situated just outside of Alloa in the Scottish Lowlands.

Distilled in 1975 and aged in refill American oak for 40 years and yielding just 1812 bottles.

`

The oldest ever official bottle of Cambus, a distillery that was famous for using corn instead of wheat for its grain whisky and the closest Scotland comes to making a Bourbon, stunning single grain whisky and one of my top picks of the 2016 Diageo releases that offers something very different style wise.

Cambus (silent)
(CAM-bus) Cambus was founded in 1806 by John Moubray at a former mill near Alloa, and began life as a malt distillery before shifting decisively into grain whisky in 1836 with the installation of Stein patent stills. Under the Moubray family it grew quickly, with a Coffey still added in 1851 and the site expanding into one of the largest grain distilleries in Scotland. In 1877, Cambus became one of the founding companies of Distillers Company Limited.
