about the distillery

Built-in 1927, Strathclyde Distillery stands in the centre of Glasgow on the banks of the River Clyde by Seager Evan Co. of London.

Predominately known for Grain distillation, in 1957 there was a pair of pot stills instilled with the spirit produced known as Kinclaith. The stills were removed in 1975 to allow more space for column distillation. The water source for the distillery is Loch Katrine which is also the main drinking water source for Glasgow. Now owned by Chivas Brothers, Strathclyde is a mainstay of the Ballantines family on blended scotch.

"Sweet on the nose, with gentle oak, toffee, and a touch of honey. The palate follows with toasted caramel, butter, and a subtle hint of spice. A touch of pepper adds depth. Overall, it’s beautifully smooth and creamy, finishing with soft vanilla cream."

WHISKY WRITER & REVIEWER

"Since the mid-1970s, this 98-year-old facility has been devoted almost exclusively to churning out exceptional grain whisky. The liquid in question here, given the vintage, is predominantly distilled from wheat. It imbues each sip with an almost supernatural whisper of the saccharine, floating above all else. But the most compelling aspect of this sturdy-sipping single grain whisky is held in its back palate. It expands from a narrow focus of caramelised sugars at the tip of the tongue into a melange of nutmeg-dusted roasted pumpkin. Ultimately, it’s a confectionary delight, and one that would resonate almost instantly with fans of American “wheaters,” that is, bourbons relying on wheat as opposed to rye as the secondary grain after corn."
