A rare, well-aged Strathclyde 31-year-old grain whisky cask matured in a Refill American Standard Barrel (ASB).
Grain whisky of this age is highly prized for its velvety smoothness, refined sweetness and complex layers of vanilla, honey, coconut, soft oak and gentle spice. Over three decades of maturation have produced a beautifully rounded and elegant grain whisky with exceptional depth.
At 50.90% current cask strength, this Strathclyde shows remarkable maturity while retaining structure and vibrancy. Long-aged grain casks like this are increasingly scarce and offer outstanding value for premium single-cask bottlings — especially for those seeking something luxurious and unique.
This cask forms part of Global Whisky’s exclusive private stock release.
