Description
Single grain Cambus, an independent Elixir Distillers bottling, a 29 year old single grain distilled in 1990, from cask 93596 and bottled at 52%. Founded around 1806 by John Moubray, Cambus was a Lowland grain distillery that fell silent in 1993. It was one of the five grain distilleries that founded the Distillers Company Limited in 1877.
Distilled in continuous stills for a light, sweet grain spirit, building the gentle Cambus grain style. Maturation came in ex-Bourbon wood, with vanilla and crème brûlée. Past twenty five years the spirit turns oily and dessert sweet while staying clean. Maturation in ex-Bourbon wood suits the light, sweet grain particularly well. It was one of the five grain distilleries that founded the Distillers Company Limited in 1877. In 1906 its grain was advertised as not a headache in a gallon, helping win the What is Whisky case. Closed in 1993, the site is now a Diageo cooperage beside the Blackgrange warehouses.
At its natural 52% it is concentrated. The ex-Bourbon gives coconut, toffee and crème brûlée. Beneath it run coconut, vanilla and a soft oil. A sweet, coconut led finish lingers. This is a single grain from the lost Cambus distillery.
