    This is a beautifully presented cask strength single cask whisky from the long-gone Kinclaith Distillery. First laid down after distillation in 05.1969 and bottled in 11.2004 from cask number 301455. Only 207 bottles were ever made of this rare collector's piece. The Kinclaith distillery operated for as little as 18 years and was situated within the Strathclyde Grain Distillery. The set also has a small 5cl miniature, glass and DVD showing the production of the bottle.

    Kinclaith

    An illustrious name in scotch whisky by reputation only, Kinclaith was a single malt distillery established within the Strathclyde grain whisky complex to produce a style of whisky. Starting production in 1957, it was until very recently, the last malt distillery to be built in Glasgow. Unfortunately, it lasted less than 2 decades and was dismantled in 1975. This was to make way for the expansion of Strathclyde’s capacity. Any trace of Kinclaith was demolished by 1982 and all that remains are a handful of independent bottlings that have appeared over the years. It was never released officially, instead, it is thanks to the support of Gordon & MacPhail and Signatory that we have some rare casks of this Glasgow distillery. Some of these are excellent but there are a couple that have a soapy characteristic, which suggests they should have gone into blends in the 1960s.
