The Strathclyde Distillery, established nearly a century ago in Glasgow, was the city's only distillery dedicated to producing grain whisky from unmalted grains. Although it later began processing some malted barley, the distillery is still renowned for producing high-quality grain whisky. These whiskies are often used in blends such as Ballantine's and Chivas, but there are no official bottlings from the distillery. However, independent bottlers like Duncan Taylor recognize the value of Strathclyde's whisky and have released exclusive bottlings such as the Duncan Taylor Rare Auld Single Grain Strathclyde 1990/2021. This particular expression is a 30-year-old single grain whisky, distilled in 1990 and bottled in 2021 as part of the Rare Auld series. It was matured in a single sherry oak cask, free from chill filtration, and artificial coloring, with an alcohol by volume (abv) of 48.3%. Only 248 bottles were produced from this unique cask. The nose of this whisky is warm and fruity, with inviting notes of vanilla, apple pie, and oak. On the palate, darker flavors emerge, including ginger, nutmeg, grassy hay, and brown sugar. The finish is long and sweet, with lingering notes of caramel chocolate, blackberry, and sweet oak. This whisky is a testament to Strathclyde's long history of producing high-quality grain whisky. With its extended maturation in a sherry oak cask, this single cask whisky offers complex flavors of dried fruit, chocolate, and warm spices. Connoisseurs of whisky should not miss the opportunity to experience this unique and rare expression.
