Cameronbridge 12 Years Old 2010 The Creators (Whisky My Wife)

Single grain Cameronbridge, an independent Whisky My Wife bottling matured to 12 year old distilled in 2010 and bottled at 48%. Only 30 bottles were released. Cameronbridge is a vast Lowland grain distillery in Fife, working since 1824. Since Port Dundas closed in 2010, Cameronbridge is Diageo's only wholly owned grain distillery.

It was worked through column stills from wheat, for the light, sweet grain spirit Cameronbridge is known for. Ex-Sherry wood added a dried fruit richness to the sweet grain. At a youthful age the spirit is bright, sweet and clean. The clean grain base lets the cask speak clearly across the years. The Haig name has been tied to Scottish distilling since the 17th century. It was the home of continuous distillation in Scotland, making the country's first commercial grain whisky. A founding member of the Distillers Company in 1877, it is now Diageo's largest distillery.

At a full 48% it is intense yet sweet. The Pedro Ximenez lends raisin, date and treacle over the sweet grain. A butterscotch and a creamy oak lift it. It closes long, sweet and oily. This is a single grain from the home of Scotch grain whisky.
