Cameronbridge 33 Year Old 1974/2007 Celtic Heartlands 48.3% vol. 0,7l

Jim McEwan's Celtic Heartlands
Under this name absolute old exception barrels of different distilleries are filled.
Jim McEwan is a co-owner and master distiller of Bruichladdich, and a partner in independent bottler Murray McDavid.
This barrel was filled in beautiful glass decanters, marked with a Gaelic symbol.
The glass carafe is firmly embedded in a noble case covered with black imitation leather with magnetic lock, which is lined with black velvet.

Cameronbridge
The year of foundation of the Scottish Grain distillery from the Lowlands is unknown. The distillery was first mentioned in 1813, 11 years later it came into the possession of the Haig family.
Haig already equipped Cameronbridge with patent stills in 1830, making it the first distillery to use this distillation method in Scotland.
Cameronbridge is considered the country's oldest grain distillery, although grain whiskey in the early days made up only a small part of the production. Only in the 1920s was the production entirely shifted to grain whiskey.
Gin has also been produced here since 1989.
At the end of the 1990s, Cameronbridge was undergoing major refurbishment - and today the distillery can deliver up to 30 million liters of alcohol per year.
The whiskey produced here can be found in the blends of Buchanan's, Haig, Johnnie Walker and White Horse.
Unusually, but even more interesting, is the filling of a grain whiskey as a single, plus a single barrel with such an old age.
A great grain with aromas of marzipan and caramel sweets, melon and apple.
In the taste clear traces of Butterscotch, mint, vanilla and almonds, cream caramel and Madeira cake follow.
A wonderfully balanced, soft finish.
Bottled on Islay by Bruichladdich Distillery.

This bottling is in barrel strength and of course not cool filtered and free of dyes.
