From Collins Pocket Reference : Whisky
Cameronbridge Distillery had been operating for several years before it was acquired in 1824 by John Haig,
one of the famouse family of Lowland Whisky distillers.
One of its most famous directors, who subsequently became a director at the Distillers Company Limited,
was Field Marshal Douglas Haig, commander in chief of the British Army on the Western Front during the First World War.
Haig's company were among the founders of the Distillers Company in 1877,
and United Distillers still own the distillery today.
Cameronbridge produced both grain and malt whisky using a mixture of pot and patent stills until 1929 before finally concentrating on grain only.
Tasting comment : Like other grain whiskies, a lighter spirit than malt,
whith a fresh taste and an element of smoothness.
