‍“Unconstrained by age or statement of vintage, regionality or cask type…if our tasting panel love the whisky enough, we will bottle it.”  - Keith Bonnington, Founder.

This 22 year old bottling from the Lowland Strathclyde grain distillery was distilled in October 1998, matured in a cask before a finish in an ex-oloroso Sherry cask (#129501) before bottling in August 2021 by The Whisky Cellars in their series 3 releases for the Private Cellars Selection.

Expect a nose of polished oak, caramel shortbread and ripe red forest fruits. The palate is bright for it's age with redcurrant jam, spearmint toffees, lychees and salted caramel. The finish is a very long and lingering with a touch of spice and red fruits. 

Bottled at Cask Strength with no chill filtration. Only 253 bottles produced from the cask. 

700ml. 55.2% ABV.
