Strathclyde 36 Year Old Tasting Notes

• Nose: Charred banana bread and fragrant vanilla pods mingle with sweet Linzer biscuits. Gentle citrus and orchard fruits develop alongside delicate aromatic notes reminiscent of Italian Gewürztraminer wine.
• Palate: Rich plum syrup and sweet peach liqueur lead into herbal tea and subtle camphor. Toasted coconut, gentle oak, and sweet cereal notes reminiscent of Golden Grahams add complexity and texture.
• Finish: A distinctive finish that develops towards the rich, rounded character of mature Cuban rum, with lingering sweetness and gentle oak influence.

36 Years of Maturation – Mature Single Grain Whisky

This Strathclyde 36 Year Old Thompson Bros demonstrates why mature single grain Scotch whisky has developed such a loyal following among whisky enthusiasts.

Over more than three decades of maturation, grain whisky can develop extraordinary layers of vanilla, caramelised fruit, coconut, baking spices and polished oak.

Unlike malt whisky, single grain Scotch whisky is produced using a combination of grains and typically distilled in continuous column stills, resulting in a lighter spirit that can develop exceptional richness and complexity with age.

At 36 years old, this Strathclyde offers an opportunity to enjoy a beautifully mature Scotch whisky at a particularly accessible price for its age.
