Rarely seen Rothes single malt.
Cambridge Wine Merchants sells a series of own-label Scotch whiskies produced in association with Gordon & MacPhail, with labels designed by Swedish graphic designer Christian Bjurinder. There are currently three whiskies in the range: Speyside Fire, Highland Wind, and Islay Earth. All are labelled as 10-year-olds.
Founded in 1993, Cambridge Wine Merchants is a partnership between two friends, Hal Wilson and Brett Turner, who still own the company today.
The duo started with a shop in Mill Road, Cambridge and today there are seven branches, four of which are in the city.
In 2013, the company opened its first in-store wine bar at its Bridge Street store. As of 2017, there are three wine bar stores, as well as a wine school.
Today, Cambridge Wine Merchants also conducts some wholesale business, mostly with colleges at Oxford and Cambridge, as well as some restaurants and pubs.
One of the oldest distilleries in Speyside and one that still uses direct fire to heat its stills.
