Cameronbridge Cameron Brig

This official Cameronbridge single grain, bottled at 40%. Cameronbridge, in the Kingdom of Fife, is Diageo's largest distillery and the home of Scotch grain whisky. Since Port Dundas closed in 2010, Cameronbridge is Diageo's only wholly owned grain distillery.

Distilled in column stills for a clean, sweet grain, building the light Cameronbridge grain style. An ex-Bourbon barrel shaped it, American oak giving coconut and toffee. With no age statement, it shows a light, sweet grain body and a vanilla lift. The slow loss of the angel's share concentrates the sweet, oily core over the years. It is among the largest distilleries in Europe, making well over a hundred million litres a year. John Haig's cousin Robert Stein invented the continuous still, and Cameronbridge was among the first to run one. The Haig distilling dynasty traces its roots in Scottish whisky back to the 1600s. The distillery sits at Windygates in the Kingdom of Fife, near the River Leven.

Bottled at 40%, it is rounded. The ex-Bourbon gives a sweet, oily vanilla. It is clean and sweet, the grain spirit shining through. A sweet, coconut led finish lingers. This is a single grain from the home of Scotch grain whisky.
