Strathcolm is a Scottish single grain whisky that has matured for 8 years. Rather than being made from malted barley like malt whisky is, most grain whisky is made from either maize, rye or wheat. It is also distilled in column stills. These types of stills allow for a continuous distillation process and are much more efficient than the copper pot stills that are used for single malt whisky. Strathcolm 8 Y is a perfect introduction into the world of grain whisky — an oft forgotten whisky variety that deserves your attention.
