Headquartered in Campbeltown, it is today owned by J.A. Mitchell & Co., Springbank Distillery's parrent company. The Cadenhead Small Batch range is exclusive to KWM in Canada.

Producer's Tasting Note

Nose: Milk chocolate; brandy snaps and runny hone come from the nose alone, what will the palate deliver if this is just the nose?

Palate: The palate delivers a rather nice soft woodiness that gives way to vanilla pods, gingersnap biscuits and lemon icing.

Finish: Initial toffee notes fade to reveal hints of pears, white chocolate and some soft earthy notes. Very enjoyable indeed.

Distillery Fact: Cameronbridge distillery can produce up to 120 million litres of alcohol per year with most of the grain whisky production ending up in blended whisky. With grain whisky it takes time for the cask to work its magic as the spirit is a lot purer than single malt whisky coming off the still at up to 94.8% alcohol. Given time in a good cask single grain such as this one can easily rival a similar aged single malt.
