- Description
- Distilled in 1988, just five years before Cambus closed permanently in 1993, this 30-year-old grain whisky represents a vanished chapter of Scottish distilling. Matured in a single sherry hogshead and bottled by Hunter Laing in just 242 bottles, it captures the richness of long cask ageing.
