- Description
- Cambus, a closed Lowland grain distillery, yielded this exceptional 51-year-old single grain from a bourbon barrel filled in 1966. Only 109 bottles were drawn from the cask at cask strength 49.7% ABV for Mackillop's Choice Rare Master's Collection, housed in a handsome decanter. Over five decades of aging have created a rare window into pre-closure grain whisky character. Reserved for collectors seeking historical significance and the remarkable smoothness that only grain whisky's long maturation can achieve.
