Cameronbridge 38 Years Old 1984 Cask #19295 (Signatory)

This is a Cameronbridge single grain, chosen and bottled by Signatory Vintage matured to 38 year old distilled in 1984, from cask 19295 and bottled at 50.6%. A release of 148 bottles. Cameronbridge, in the Kingdom of Fife, is Diageo's largest distillery and the home of Scotch grain whisky. It is one of the largest distilleries in Europe, making well over a hundred million litres a year.

Distilled in column stills for a clean, sweet grain, building the light Cameronbridge grain style. It rested in ex-Bourbon oak, the wood adding coconut and vanilla. Past thirty years the spirit turns oily and dessert sweet while staying clean. The slow loss of the angel's share concentrates the sweet, oily core over the years. Pot stills for malt whisky were removed in 1929, leaving Cameronbridge a pure grain plant. The site was expanded again in 2007 in a forty million pound investment. The Haig name has been tied to Scottish distilling since the 17th century.

At cask strength 50.6% it is full bodied. The ex-Bourbon gives a sweet, oily vanilla. A butterscotch and a creamy oak lift it. It finishes clean, sweet and buttery. This is an aged single grain from Diageo's largest distillery.
