Description

A closed Scottish grain distillery that operated between 1806 and 1993 when it was closed down by Diageo. The company still owns the site, transforming it into a cooperage in 2011. Although mostly used to provide fillings for blends, a Cambus single grain brand was marketed at times. This 40 Year Old expression, distilled in 1975 and bottled in 2016, was released as part of Diageo's 2016 Special Releases. Only 1,812 bottles were produced.
