A Cameronbridge single grain, selected and bottled by Murray McDavid, aged 29 year old distilled in 1992, from cask 19150474 + 1925047 and bottled at 45.4%. The outturn was 372 bottles. Founded in 1824 by John Haig, Cameronbridge is the oldest and largest grain distillery in Scotland. John Haig's cousin Robert Stein invented the continuous still, and Cameronbridge was among the first to run one.

It was drawn from continuous Coffey stills for a light grain spirit, for a delicate spirit that leans on the cask with age. It rested in ex-Bourbon oak, the wood adding coconut and vanilla. By this age the sweet spirit rounds into vanilla, coconut and a soft oil. The high strength spirit mellows slowly into a soft, sweet old grain. 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.

At a natural 45.4% it is full and oily. The ex-Bourbon gives vanilla, cream and a dessert sweetness. It is soft and deep, the grain and oak well matched. A warming, sweet finish lingers. This is a soft, oily single grain from Cameronbridge.
