Kinclaith distillery was build by Strathclyde & Long John Distilleries Ltd. within the Strathclyde Grain distillery complex, in 1958.[1][2]The Kinclaith distillery was closed in 1975 after being sold to Whitbread & Co.[3]
Following the closure of the still, the stock, casked and bottled, has become rare, making it more collectable and the value has increased substantially.[4] Today it is one of the most expensive brands in the world with bottles fetching prices of between $1500 and $4000 each.[5]
