Description
This 40 Years Old was distilled in 1969 and bottled by Signatory for its Cask Strength Collection in 2009, drawn from single cask 301445, a sibling to the firm's 35 year old from the same year. An outturn of 217 bottles. A Lowland malt housed in the Strathclyde grain distillery in Glasgow, Kinclaith ran from 1957 until 1975.
Glasgow's final malt distillery had just one pair of pot stills, its spirit feeding Long John blends. Matured in a single ex-Bourbon cask across forty years, the wood slowly shaped a spirit with no successor.
Bottled at its natural cask strength of 47.3%. Vanillin from the ex-Bourbon reads as vanilla and oak lactones as coconut, with maltol adding toffee, four decades layering a waxy depth with a faint vegetal edge. A rare old cask strength bottling of a lost Glasgow distillery.
