This single-cask bottling of a 30-year-old Cambus Single Grain Whisky was produced by the independent bottler Hunter Laing as part of The Sovereign series. The whisky was distilled in 1988, matured in an ex-sherry hogshead, and was bottled at cask strength in 2019 in a run of 242 individually numbered bottles.
Cambus was a grain whisky distillery in Tullibody, Clackmannanshire, Scotland, which was founded in 1813 by John Mowbray on the River Devon and was one of the founding members of the Distillers Company Ltd (DCL) in 1877. In 1914, there was a fire in the production buildings and operations were not resumed until 1938. Today it belongs to Diageo, who closed it down in 1993 and the site is currently used for filling barrels and as a warehouse.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
