- Description
- Strathclyde's 1975 single grain matured for 11 years and finished in sherry butt, bottled at cask strength (55.5% ABV) by Douglas Laing with no artificial adjustment. The sherry finish transforms grain spirit's typical grainy sweetness into richer dried fruit and toffee notes, while maintaining the clean, crisp character that defines quality grain whisky. Bottled natural color and non-chill-filtered, this represents honest, unadulterated grain whisky. An excellent introduction to what sherry can do for grain, and a collector's piece from the Old Particular range.
