Description
This 51 Years Old is the oldest Kinclaith ever bottled and, released by Duncan Taylor in 2020, very likely the last, drawn from single cask 301454 with an outturn of just 95 bottles. Kinclaith, a Lowland malt built in 1957 inside the Strathclyde grain complex in Glasgow, closed in 1975, so a cask of this age is the very end of the stock.
Glasgow's last malt distillery ran a single pair of pot stills among the grain stills, its spirit made for Long John blends and almost never bottled alone. Matured in a single ex-Bourbon cask across fifty-one years, the wood slowly shaped a spirit with no successor.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of 49.3%. The ex-Bourbon gives vanillin for vanilla and oak lactones for coconut, five decades layering a waxy, honeyed depth over polished oak. The final chapter of a lost Glasgow distillery.
