—The first spirit ran from the stills at Kinclaith in 1957, at the time the last remaining single malt distillery in Glasgow.— Kinclaith’s origins date back as far as 1957. Located on the south side of the River Clyde, this small malt distillery was housed within the massive Strathclyde grain distillery complex. The vital ingredients were all locally sourced, and the liquid matured in a combination of American and European Oak casks. Despite only producing for 18 years, Kinclaith remains the most elusive of all of Scotland’s lowland distilleries. Kinclaith – Few people are aware of the history of whisky making in Glasgow, up until the last few years, Kinclaith was the last single malt distillery in the city. Closing in 1975 it saw the end of single malt production in the city for almost 40 years. Only in existence for 18 years, Kinclaith produced a Lowland Single Malt that has legendary status. These bottles of Kinclaith are some of the last in the world, a look back in history to another age of whisky-making.
