history
The distillery was in 1813 by John Mowbray near the city Tullibody the river Devon established to grain whiskey to produce. It was one of the first and at times the largest grain whiskey distillery in the country. In 1877 the distillery was one of the founding members of the Distiller Company Ltd. (DCL). In 1914 a fire destroyed the production buildings, but spared the warehouses. The business was not resumed until 1938, but did not reach the previous level. Cambus finally came to Diageo through the acquisition by Scottish Grain Distillers . In 1993 the distillery was shut down. Diageo currently uses them for filling barrels and as a warehouse.
