The third was transferred from Carsebridge distillery in Alloa when it was closed by United Distillers in 1983.
Major renovations at Cameron Bridge occurred in 1989–92 as well as up to 2000 when the distillery produced up to 30 million imperial gallons (140,000,000 L) of spirit annually.
[1][2] In 1989 Cameronbridge also changed from being solely a large-scale grain whisky distillery into a 'dual-purpose' site, when United Distillers' grain neutral spirit (GNS) operation was transferred to Fife from Wandsworth in London.
GNS for white spirits and 'sweetened products' such as Archers, Pimm's, Smirnoff, Tanqueray and Gordon's Gin were also produced alongside grain spirit used in the Johnnie Walker, J&B, Bell's, Black & White, Vat 69, Haig and White Horse blended whisky brands owned by Diageo but the GNS column was later converted to a whisky still but remains capable of producing GNS.
[3] It is currently the largest of the remaining grain distilleries in Scotland[4] and is owned by Diageo.
