Strathclyde 35 Year Old 1987 Single Cask (Private Label) | 700ML

Hailing from the Strathclyde distillery, this one spent three and a half decades maturing between 1987 and 2022, when a total of 242 bottles were drawn from the single barrel in which it dwelled. The majority of grain produced at Strathclyde goes into a whole host of well-known blends like Ballantine's.

Strathclyde 35 Year Old 1987 Single Cask (Private Label) | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Slightly tangy underripe plums open the way before creamier notes of apricot and buttery pastry take hold. Fruity banana bread, mellow oak, and zesty candied orange.

Palate: Buttery caramel coats the palate, with generous layers of creamy vanilla gushing behind. Butter biscuits and brioche join, while woody spice nestles in the depths.

Finish: Candied ginger brings warming touch, with caramelised stone fruits and roasted walnuts, rich oak, and vanilla buttercream.

Distillery Information

Holding the impressive distinction of being Glasgow’s only grain distillery, Strathclyde was initially built by London distiller Seager Evans in 1927 on the site of an old cotton mill. Established predominately to supply neutral grain spirit for gin, it wasn’t until 1936 that Seager Evans entered the whisky-making market, when he purchased the Long John brand. Strathclyde hasn’t always solely made grain-based whiskies, however. In 1956 a set of stills were installed within the distillery to produce a single malt Scotch whisky named Kinclaith. This was the doing of Schenley Industries of New York, who acquired the company in the same year and invested heavily in the site. The days of malted whisky at Strathclyde came to an end in 1975 however, when Whitbread purchased the distillery and removed Kinclaith, as well as the blending and warehousing site next door, to make more room for grain whisky production.
