Description
In terms of production capacity, Strathclyde is one of the largest in Scotland, yet, due to producing no Single Malt whisky, and focussing exclusively on column-distilled Single Grain, this must be one of the least famous. Whilst not recommended to the whisky tourist, Strathclyde and its handful of Grain whisky counterparts around Scotland are as integral to the industry as many a hallowed name!
Rob Whitehead, Spirits Buyer, Berry Bros. & Rudd
Tasting note
The nose is initially reticent but some time in the glass brings out subtle banana bread, coconut milk and peach. The palate, conversely, is a crescendo of rich vanilla, cream soda, desiccated coconut and dark chocolate. It is incredibly powerful and integrates well with the high alcohol. The finish brings tingling spice and more subtle vanilla. Grain whisky really hits its stride at around 18 years and this is a prime example.
