Its other – and now only – grain distillery has been more successful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrathclyde distillery is located in the Gorbals on the south side of the River Clyde opposite Glasgow Green and it’s nice to think that an operation so dependent on steam should be located so close to the park where James Watt was struck with inspiration for his vapour-driven engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery – on the site of an old cotton mill – was initially built by London distiller\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/scotchwhisky.com\/whiskypedia\/5994\/seager-evans\/\"\u003eSeager Evans\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ein 1927 mainly to supply neutral grain spirit for its gins.

This ran from 1957 to 1975 when it was removed to make way for a two-phase expansion of the grain\/neutral spirit side of the operation. At the same time, the firm’s blending and warehousing site next door was also demolished\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLong John Distilleries (as Seager Evans’ whisky division was named) went through a number of hands, eventually ending up within Allied Distillers, by which time Strathclyde would also have been supplying some of the grain to the Ballantine’s and Teacher’s blends. It is now part of the Chivas Brothers stable and still, amazingly, goes unnoticed by the strollers along the banks of the Clyde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e50.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strathclyde","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52791432282450,"sku":"DOUGLOPSTCL10DL11062","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/Strathclyde10YearOld2005DouglasLaingOldParticularSingleSherryButtDL11062SingleGrainScotchWhisky_2016_70cl.jpg?v=1771959932","url":"https:\/\/whiskysituation.co.uk\/products\/strathclyde-10-year-old-2005-douglas-laing-old-particular-single-sherry-butt-dl11062-single-grain-scotch-whisky-2016-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
