Cambus 29 Years Old 1991 Cask #34107 (Signatory)

Signatory Vintage bottled this Cambus single grain, a 29 year old release distilled in 1991, from cask 34107 and bottled at 57%. A release of 397 bottles. Cambus, a silent grain distillery on the River Devon, made whisky from about 1806 to 1993. John Moubray converted an old mill, switching from malt to grain stills in the 1830s.

Distilled continuously in two Coffey stills from a grain mash, giving a clean, mellow grain whisky. A sherry cask wrapped the sweet grain in dried fruit and a nutty depth. Past twenty five years the spirit turns oily and dessert sweet while staying clean. Three decades and more turn a light spirit into something rich and tropical. Cambus was once one of the largest grain distilleries in Scotland. Most surviving Cambus was distilled in the late 1980s and early 1990s, before the doors closed. Grain whisky like this gains coconut and toffee from decades in active oak.

Undiluted at 57%, it is layered. The Oloroso brings dried fruit and a nutty depth over the sweet grain. The texture is oily and buttery, the sweetness coating. A long, oily finish carries a coconut lift. This is a finite single grain from Cambus, closed in 1993.
