A single cask Strathclyde from Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection, this 30 year old was distilled in 1989 and bottled in 2019 from a sherry-matured cask at 52.1% ABV. Limited to just 162 bottles.

Matured in sherry wood, it brings richer dried fruit and spice influence to Strathclyde’s smooth grain character, adding depth and warmth alongside the distillery’s naturally creamy profile in this long-aged, single cask expression.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany undertones and a warm copper glow.

Nose

Sherry-matured aroma, lush with dried fruits—raisin, fig and plum—layered over creamy Strathclyde grain. Rich spice unfurls: cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, with toasted almond and a trace of dark chocolate. Velvet oak and vanilla weave through, delivering warmth, depth and a luxurious bouquet.

Palate

Silky and creamy, this Strathclyde layers sherried richness over a smooth grain base. Dark fruit—figs, raisins, dates—meets spice: clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, with touches of toffee, vanilla and toasted almond. The 52.1% ABV brings a mouth-coating warmth and an inviting, slightly oily texture that lingers with caramelized sweetness and spice.

Finish

Long, warming finish; sherry-drenched dried fruits meet a creamy Strathclyde grain. Raisin and fig sustain with cinnamon and clove, fading into smooth oak and a silky sweetness that lingers in soft, confident waves.

Strathclyde
(strath-CLYDE) Strathclyde was founded in Glasgow in 1927 by London distiller Seager Evans, on the site of an old cotton mill in the Gorbals. It was originally built to produce neutral grain spirit for gin, before moving into Scotch whisky after Seager Evans bought the Long John brand in 1936. The distillery later gained an unusual extra chapter in its history when the Kinclaith malt distillery operated within the same site from 1957 to 1975.
