- Description
- Strathclyde's grain spirit aged 35 years in a single barrel from 1987 to 2022, producing just 242 bottles of rare whisky from a distillery that produces primarily for blends like Ballantine's. Extended maturation in wood develops grain whisky into something unexpectedly sophisticated, with layers of vanilla, cereal, and subtle oak influence. For collectors seeking the rarity of aged grain whisky or those curious about the building blocks of premium blends.
