- Description
- Strathclyde's 28-year maturation in a single bourbon barrel from 1989 to 2017 showcases the gentle evolution possible in refill wood, where spirit character develops without becoming wood-dominated. The bourbon cask imparts classic vanilla and light oak undertones to the clean Lowland grain base, resulting in a balanced, approachable dram with surprising depth for its category. WM Cadenhead's independent bottling of 216 bottles preserves authentic distillery character. A fine entry point for those discovering aged grain whisky's subtle appeal.
