Strathclyde 34 Year Old Xtra Old Particular Douglas Laing 1987
Strathclyde
The Strathclyde distillery sits unobtrusively on the south side of the Clyde river in the Gorbals district of Glasgow. It was built in 1927 as a grain distillery and for a long time produced only neutral spirit for use in the gins of then-owners Seager Evans.
Eventually the distillery was acquired by US company Schenley Industries, which in 1956 installed a pair of stills for the production of a single malt whisky named Kinclaith. This single malt was only produced on the site until 1975, when Whitbread acquired the site and reverted to 100% grain whisky production. Having been produced over such a short time, Kinclaith single malt is naturally very rare and bottlings by independents, such as Gordon & MacPhail and Signatory, are sought-after by collectors of Scotch whisky esoterica.
No official bottlings of Strathclyde single grain whisky were ever released; however independent bottlings, particularly those which have spent longer in cask, are of a very high quality and on many an enthusiast’s wish list.
