Vanilla from the ex-bourbon cask leads the aroma, backed by soft sweetness, a silky creaminess, and a whisper of oak. Light spice and subtle grain notes thread through, revealing Strathclyde’s grain-forward character after long maturation.
Palate
Silky, creamy palate with pronounced vanilla from the ex-bourbon cask, tempered by gentle caramel sweetness. Light spice, white pepper and nutmeg lift the grain's smooth, refined character, while soft oak adds quiet structure. A warm, mouthfilling presence at natural strength that lingers gracefully.
Finish
Long and silky, this finish carries vanilla and gentle bourbon spice, with a lingering sweetness that coats the palate. Subtle oak and creamy grain tread softly, fading into a warm, refined echo that invites another sip.
