- Description
- Cambus grain from 1991—just two years before the silent Lowland distillery closed—spent 30 years in a refill hogshead before Hunter Laing bottled it in May 2022 for The Sovereign series. Refill oak has allowed the grain character to develop fully while maintaining elegance and subtlety. Only 265 bottles were released, preserving memory of this defunct Lowland distillery. A worthy selection for collectors documenting Scotland's closed grain facilities.
