Claxton’s write:
Single Grain Scotch Whisky is often overshadowed by its more famous malt whisky counterpart. However, at Claxton’s we know that mature grain whisky, aged in the best oak casks produces a captivating dram.

Matured and bottled at Claxton’s, this 30-year-old single grain whisky has benefitted from traditional style warehousing in the former grain stores of Sandbed Farm on the Dalswinton Estate.

The Grain Barn name represents the heritage of grain production in the lowlands of Scotland. This bottling puts grain whisky in the limelight and is an opportunity to experience a remarkable dram an under-recognised source.
