Strathclyde 31 Year Old 1994 is an exceptionally elegant single grain Scotch whisky, bottled for the Fragrant Drops series. Distilled in 1994 and matured for over three decades in a single refill bourbon barrel (#455331), this rare release was bottled in 2026 at a refined 45.1% ABV, with just 159 bottles available worldwide.

Long maturation in a refill bourbon barrel has allowed the character of Strathclyde’s silky grain spirit to develop naturally, preserving its creamy sweetness while adding subtle layers of vanilla, honey, toasted coconut, and polished oak. The gentle influence of the refill cask creates remarkable balance, allowing delicate orchard fruits, soft spice, and buttery pastry notes to shine. Bottled without chill-filtration or added colour, this is a beautifully mature single grain whisky that highlights the elegance and complexity achievable through patient ageing.

The Distillery

Strathclyde
Strathclyde Distillery, established in 1927 on Moffat Street near the River Clyde in Glasgow, is a historic Lowland grain whisky distillery. Equipped with two Coffey continuous stills for grain whisky production and five additional Coffey stills for neutral spirit, it plays a vital role in Scotch whisky blending. The distillery sources its water from Loch Katrine, nestled in the hills north of Glasgow. In 1957, the Kinclaith malt distillery was added to the complex but closed in 1975 and was dismantled in 1976, marking Strathclyde as a key part of Scotland’s whisky legacy.
