- Description
- Strathclyde, a Lowland grain distillery, produced this 26-year-old in 1990, aging it in a refill barrel until March 2017 before Douglas Laing bottled it in the Old Particular range. A quarter-century in refill wood allows the spirit's natural character to develop—honeyed sweetness and subtle oak without the heaviness of first-fill casks—resulting in an elegant, restrained grain whisky. This is for collectors seeking authentic distillery character from an already-closed facility.
