Currently the largest grain distillery in Europe, Cameronbridge located in Leven on the northern shore of the Firth of Forth, founded in 1824. While not only the production site of Single Grain Scotch Whisky for owner Diageo’s blended whisky brands, it also produces Smirnoff Vodka for the UK market and is the home of Tanqueray London Dry Gin.
The Coopers Choice range of single cask whiskies from Scotland’s finest distilleries is our homage to these fine craftsmen and their important role in the Scotch Whisky industry. Owned by The Vintage Malt Whisky Company which was founded in 1992 by Brian Cook who was the export manager for the Auchentoshan and Bowmore Distilleries. Brian’s aim was to produce a range of malt whiskies from his country’s finest distilleries and make them available to independent wine and spirit importers throughout the world.  Now the Vintage Malt Whisky Company is certainly a family-run business with Andrew Crook (Brian’s Son) taking on the mantle as Managing Director. The comoany has now exported over 5 million bottles worldwide.
Matured in a single American Oak ex Bourbon Cask for 35 years. Distilled in 1984 and bottled in 2020 at 44.5% cask strength. Only 198 bottles were made available for worldwide distribution.
