Strathclyde 34 Year Old 1987 - Mission Gold (Murray McDavid)
Strathclyde
Tasting Notes
Crafted to perfection, the Strathclyde 34 Year Old 1987 - Mission Gold (Murray McDavid) is a true gem in the world of single grain whiskies. Distilled in 1987 at the historic Strathclyde distillery in Glasgow, this exceptional spirit has been meticulously matured for over three decades, with the first 30 years spent in a bourbon hogshead, imparting rich and complex flavors. In a masterful move, it was then transferred to small rye whiskey casks from Koval in Chicago for a four-year finish, adding a unique depth and character. The result is a whisky that captivates the senses with its alluring aroma of toffee apple, stewed pears, and vanilla, followed by a palate that dances with sweet oak, caramel sauce, and fresh cereal notes. The finish is long and gentle, leaving a delightful peanut brittle flavor lingering on the tongue. Bottled by Murray McDavid, with a limited release of 584 bottles for the Mission Gold range, this whisky is a testament to the art of patience and craftsmanship, offering an unforgettable journey for connoisseurs seeking a truly extraordinary experience.
