Expert description

Cameronbridge Spiritualist Harmony 1991/2020 Old Particular 28 Years is a Single Grain Scotch Whisky bottled at 52.6% without chill filtration and without added colour.

The whisky was distilled in October 1991 and bottled in August 2020 from a single cask that gave 297 bottles for the entire world. Old Particular is Douglas Laing's series for single casks, and The Spiritualist is a sub-range where each bottle receives its own name.

Cameronbridge in Fife is Europe's largest grain distillery and has been producing since 1824. The spirit is light and smooth, and after nearly three decades in cask it has developed the creamy depth old grain whisky is known for.

Frequently asked questions about Cameronbridge Spiritualist Harmony 1991/2020 Old Particular 28 Years Single Grain Scotch Whisky 52.6%

What is Old Particular?

Douglas Laing's series of single cask bottlings from across Scotland, both malt and grain. The casks are typically bottled at high strength without filtration or colour. See more independent series under Independent Whisky Bottlers.

What does The Spiritualist mean?

A sub-range of Old Particular where each bottling receives a name rather than only a cask number. The name Harmony refers to the whisky's balance between sweetness and spice.

Is it worth the money?

Twenty-eight years in cask, one cask and 297 bottles from a distillery that virtually never releases single grain itself. It is the rarity of the source that carries the bottle.

How does Cameronbridge grain whisky taste after so many years?

Soft, creamy and sweet with vanilla, fudge and coconut. The smooth spirit style develops over time into a full, oily texture without turning heavy.

Should I add water?

At 52.6% it is ready to drink, but a couple of drops open the fruit. Grain whisky reacts quickly, so add a little at a time.

What characterises Douglas Laing?

A family owned house from Glasgow with roots in 1948, known for both single cask bottlings and blended malt ranges such as Big Peat and Scallywag.
