A well-matured 30-year-old grain whisky cask from Strathclyde, distilled in February 1995 and matured in a refill American Standard Barrel (ASB). This long period of ageing has allowed the grain spirit to develop exceptional smoothness, depth, and balance, with the refill wood gently supporting the whisky rather than overpowering it.
Refill ASB maturation is ideal for extended ageing, preserving the natural sweetness and creamy character of mature grain whisky while introducing soft vanilla, honeyed notes, and polished oak. At 52.6% current cask strength, the whisky retains excellent structure while remaining elegant and approachable.
With a solid remaining volume and attractive outturn for a whisky of this age, this cask presents a compelling opportunity for premium bottling, private ownership, or continued maturation.
This release forms part of Global Whisky’s exclusive private stock offering.
