- Description
- Cambus grain from 1976 represents a rare glimpse of spirit distilled in the mid-1970s, matured for 45 years in a refill hogshead before Douglas Laing bottled it at cask strength 49.1% ABV for Xtra Old Particular. Nearly half a century of refill barrel aging has concentrated the grain character without excessive wood tannins. The light proof elevation adds presence while respecting the spirit's age and subtlety. An exceptional release for collectors of historic Scottish grain whisky.
