- Description
- This Lowland grain from Cambus was distilled in 1988 and aged 33 years in a pair of American oak hogsheads before The Whisky Cellar bottled it in 2022. American oak has imparted vanilla, caramel, and subtle wood spice to the grain character over three decades. An outturn of 498 bottles provides broader availability than most aged grain whiskies. Suitable for grain enthusiasts seeking a well-aged dram with balanced oak integration.
