- Description
- Cambus, another closed Lowland grain distillery, produced this 25-year-old in 1991, aging it in a refill sherry butt before Claxton's bottled it at cask strength from 571 bottles. Refill sherry cask maturation imparts subtle dried fruit and honey notes while allowing the grain's underlying character to remain clear, resulting in a balanced expression. This is a historical piece from the Lowlands' industrial grain-whisky era, suited to those seeking authentic bottlings from vanished distilleries.
