Cameronbridge 15 Years Old 2007 Cask #462894 (The Vintage Malt Whisky Co Ltd.)

This Cameronbridge was from the independent bottler The Vintage Malt Whisky Co Ltd, aged 15 year old distilled in 2007, from cask 462894 and bottled at 56%. Just 306 bottles were filled. Cameronbridge, in the Kingdom of Fife, is Diageo's largest distillery and the home of Scotch grain whisky. It was the home of continuous distillation in Scotland; John Haig installed Stein then Coffey stills and made the country's first commercial grain whisky.

Distilled in column stills for a clean, sweet grain, building the light Cameronbridge grain style. Ex-Bourbon casks held the grain, soft oak that drives the sweetness. Younger here, it keeps a clean, fresh grain character over light vanilla. Maturation in American oak suits the light, sweet grain particularly well. 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.

At its natural 56% it is concentrated. The ex-Bourbon gives toffee, vanilla and a soft oil. It is clean and sweet, the grain spirit shining through. It finishes clean, sweet and buttery. This is a single grain from Scotland's largest grain distillery.
