Strathclyde is Glasgow’s historic single grain distillery, founded in 1927 on the banks of the River Clyde and now part of the Chivas Brothers grain whisky operation. With no official distillery bottlings, independent releases such as this one offer a rare opportunity to taste Strathclyde as a standalone single grain, celebrated for its silky texture and refined sweetness after decades in cask.
