Distillery Information

It is a little-known fact that Cambus distillery began its life distilling malt whisky – in a disused mill on the banks of the Deveron in Alloa, before the Moubray family had the foresight in 1836 to install two Stein patent stills. The switch to grain whisky was the prelude to a century as one of the largest and most esteemed grain whisky distillers in Scotland. Highly regarded by blenders, the spirit of Cambus also emerged into the spotlight as a single grain product, and ‘Cambus Pure Grain Whisky’, aged for seven years, played a starring role in DCL’s campaign to sway public opinion in favour of allowing grain spirit to use the name ‘whisky’. Grain whisky won the fight, and the produce of Cambus remains a firm favourite among independent bottlers. However, supplies are dwindling – the distillery closed its doors in 1993, and only a handful of casks remain.
