Strathclyde 1974 40 Years Single Grain Whisky

Strathclyde distillery, a major grain whisky producer in Glasgow, Scotland, was acquired by New York-based Schenley Industries in 1956. Schenley made substantial investments in the facility, most notably adding a single malt whisky brand called Kinclaith in 1958. This unusual move integrated a malt whisky still within a grain whisky complex. Kinclaith operated for a relatively brief period until 1975, making it one of Scotland's rarest single malts. The whisky was primarily used for blending, with very few official bottlings released, though some independent bottlings exist, making it highly sought after by collectors.
