- Description
- Strathclyde's 35-year-old grain whisky, distilled in 1990 and matured in a single refill barrel, represents the character of Lowland grain production at its most patient. The extended aging has developed complex layers of cereal sweetness, subtle oak influence, and a refined, delicate structure typical of well-aged grain spirit. Bottled at cask strength (45% ABV), it maintains a clean, approachable palate despite its decades in wood. This is a whisky for those interested in the nuances of grain maturation and the craft of patient cask selection.
