Cambus 13 Year Old Circa 1980’s
Lot number: 180-02772
Winning bid: £95
The Cambus distillery was founded near Alloa in 1806 by John Moubray. It was run as a family business for most of the 19th century, passing down to John’s son (James) and grandson. (Robert) It operated as a small plant until 1836 when Moubray took a change of direction, installing two Stein patent stills to distil grain whisky instead.
The expansion cemented Cambus as one of the largest grain distilleries in Scotland. Its buildings were spread over eight acres and railway sidings were built up to each warehouse. The distillery was closed down in 1993 as part of Diageo’s £100m production reorganisation. Its plant was removed and the site transformed into a cask filling operation and warehouses. Once a jewel in DCL’s grain distillery crown, Cambus now exists as Diageo’s cooperage hub.
A rare distillery bottling, we estimate this was bottled circa 1980’s.
