- Description
- This Lowland grain from Strathclyde aged 26 years in a bourbon barrel represents the refined side of Scottish grain whisky—a spirit category often overlooked but capable of remarkable maturity and complexity. Distilled in November 1992 and bottled at a robust 50.6% ABV in 2018, the extended oak contact has imparted richness and depth far beyond typical grain expressions. The small outturn of 199 bottles makes this a rare, collectible dram. A revelation for those who believe great whisky requires the Highlands or Islands.
